Five ways the Jews are like olive oil:
-
As oil refuses to mix with other liquids, so the Jews have remained distinct throughout their exile.
-
As oil soaks through everything, the Jews have been everywhere on the globe.
-
As oil floats to the top, so Jews have risen to be leaders in humanity's progress.
-
As oil brings light to the world, so the Jews are a light to the nations.
-
As the olive is crushed to produce oil, the Jews, when crushed, shine yet more light.
