The Barley Harvest Calendar was given to Moses by God in the Torah. Join us in the worldwide efforts of many people to restore God’s calendar.
The barley ripens first around the time of Passover; the wheat ripens next around the Pentecost; and the grapes ripen last in the fall around the time of Tabernacles. These three crops depict three classes of people.
Another thing we wondered was when is the wheat harvest in Israel?
The month of Sivan (May) is the time of the wheat harvest and is reflected in the ritual service of the festival of Shavuot by the Two Loaves offering, made from the newly harvested wheat.
What time of the year is barley harvested?
The process begins around the month of Kislev (November/December) with staggered sowing of the seeds over a period of four months. The first crops harvested are flax and barley, around the time of the month of Nisan (March), coinciding with the festival of Passover.
This harvest period might be subdivided into three seasons and three major crops: the spring grain harvest, the summer grape harvest and the autumn olive harvest. These harvests have a general correspondence with the festivals.
What happened to the barley in Israel in 2020?
In late 2020 there was a lot of rain in Israel, and then in December of 2020 and January of 2021 there were six weeks of unseasonably warm weather. Because of this warm weather, the barley began to ripen, and some of it flowered.
Barley is the first crop harvested in the new year. From this we also learn that the timing of the Passover (Pesach), the Feast of Unleavened Bread and Fruit Fruits, are dependent on the start of the month of Aviv. The harvesting of the grain for the offerings happens later with the Feast of Weeks (Shavu’ot.).
When is the bird migration in Israel?
When it comes to bird migration in Israel, the normal boxes of fall and spring migration are simply inaccurate. Migration is in full effect for 10 months of the year in Israel. Due to the complexity of migration in Israel, the best way to highlight birding hotspots is by season first, and then location.
