Preparing biblical foods is not only a wonderful group activity,
but also an open gate to life in ancient Israel. As you dip the
pita bread you have just baked into olive oil and the hyssop spice
you have just made, you will taste the staple food of our ancestors.
As you sample the wheat kernels you have roasted over an open fire,
you will enjoy the "fast food" that Boaz offered Ruth
while she was gleaning in his grainfields. As you cut a fig branch
whose sap will curdle milk for your cheese, you will be practicing
the way of the shepherds in the land flowing with milk and honey.
As you gather wild plants to make a tasty salad, you will be emulating
our ancestors' survival mode in the winter, when there is no ripe
fruit.
