Every autumn, there is an olive harvest, followed by pruning to ensure the health of the trees. The pruned branches and trunks are handed over to lumber merchants and transformed into various crafts and daily necessities. Because it is a precious material, even small pieces are processed this way and used as fuel in winter. ◆ About 'Rack Chopsticks' Rack chopsticks is a specialty store for Palestinian goods that develops, selects, and sells products through fair trade, under the motto 'Wonderful borders have no borders.'
