Shemen Industries Ltd The Idea Theidea of innovating and founding an industry in Israel was first raised in thebeginning of the previous century by a group of Hovevei Zion from Minsk,Russia. In 1903, Nahum Wilboshvitz (later known as Wilbosh), who headedthe group, came to Israel in order to check the possibilities of industrialdevelopment in the country: searching for energy sources, examining ways ofimproving and developing the traditional industries, mainly of oil andsoap. Wilbosh proposed to establish a company, which will engage insecondary production of olive oil made of rape once the oil is extracted. Atthe time, the process was performed using wood-pressers. Wilbosh suggestedusing chemical resources such as gasoline. TheFoundation On a crowded land with olive plantations andoil-pressers that sell rape, a place was found. 100 dunam were bought from theland of Haditha village (located north-east of Lod). Wilbosh traveled toEurope in the purpose of learning the process of chemical extraction andordering the required equipment. \"Hadid\" factory, later known as\"Ben-Shemen\", was established in 1905 with the financial assistanceof Jews from Tzritzin who accepted Wilbosh\'s enterprise. The factory beganworking by the end of January 1906, when all the equipment arrived. The firstseason was not particularly blessed – out of 260 tons of rape, only 10% of oilwas produced, and by the end of the season, the amount of oil reduced to merely5-6%. The factory was used by Petach-Tikva and Rehovot\'s farmers. \"Atid\"Factory In 1906 Wilbosh married Shoshana Fineberg.Along with Shmuel and Eliyahu Berlin, he founded \"Atid\" company: afactory for oil and soapwort (i.e. extracting rape oil and soap). \"Achadha\'Am\" named the factory and \"Hadid\" factory joined the company.After purchasing a property on the seashore in Haifa, the factory was builtfrom hewn stone (later it became a museum of oil industry). Nahum Armanmanaged the soapery, and the number of \"Atid\" workers amounted to 100families within two years. Once the iron-pressers started working in thetraditional industry, the percentage of rape oil decreased meaningfully, andthus, rape oil gradually became less profitable. Due to economicdifficulties, the factory was shut down in 1910 and the factories were leased.Nahum Arman continued with a limited soap manufacturing until 1922. Establishing\"Shemen\" Despite thedifficulties, Nahum Wilbosh did not give up, and in 1919 he founded\"Shemen\" company in London together with his brothers Moshe andGedaliah Wilboshvitz and Eliyahu Panison. Since they needed a duty free port inorder to export, they planned on building one near Caesarea. Houses were leasedand schemes were written, but the British government objected, in spite of ZeevJabotinsky\'s lobbyism. In 1922 Nahum and Gedaliah Wilboshvitz beganestablishing \"Shemen\" factory near \"Atid\" factory andstarted assembling the machines. In the new factory, advanced methods of manufacturingand machinery were integrated – hydraulic pressers and diesel engines as wellas a modern refinery and soapery. The factory\'s engines were inaugurated inDecember 1924 by the British High Commissioner, Sir Herbert Samuel.\"Shemen\" factory put much effort in prompting and marketing theconsumption of Israeli products, and was among the first factories which took amajor part in building the country. TheModern Oil Industry At later times it wasfound that extracting oil from olives rape damages the oil quality, and therefore,this method of oil production was stopped at the late 70\'s. The oil industrymoved to producing oils from grains of different plants such as: soybean,safflower, sunflower and corn whereas the olive oil industry returned only to amechanical method of manufacturing by olive crushing, extracting the mash andseparating the oil juice from the oil. Today \"Atid\" factory islocated on the grounds of the \"Shemen\" factory in Haifa, and it has amuseum which displays the oil industry in Israel, since ancient times to thebeginning of manufacture until nowadays Adove carrying an olive branch is one of the historical symbols of the Jewishpeople and of the State of Israel. The dove is a symbol of peace, and theolive branch represents the close ties between the Jewish people and theMediterranean olive tree. These two elements also symbolize the linkbetween the young state and its ancient two-thousand -year-old history in whichthe olive tree and its oil played an important role. Olivepresses and olive oil constitute an entire culture in Israel. Thisculture began in ancient Biblical times when olive trees and oil were loved andrevered. Israel is referred to in the book of Deuteronomy Chapter 8:7 as“A land of olives, oil, and honey.” Olive pits have been found datingback 6,000 years ago, and dozens of ancient olive presses bear witness to themany olive groves and the part that the industry played in the lives of peoplelong ago. Olive oil was and still remains one of the most important agriculturalproducts and was used for food, light, heat, medicinal treatments andcosmetics, as well as cleaning and hygiene. Olive oil also playedan important role in religious rituals, and was used for anointing priests andkings, for libations, and burials. During Biblical times the entireseason of the olive harvest signified a time of festivities. Today olivefestivals mark this tradition and the olive harvest is celebrated in the fallwith festivals and activities. Families make excursions to visit olivegroves and to harvest olives together with the farmers, and to watch the olivesbeing pressed. Restaurants serve special gourmet meals during the seasonfeaturing olives and olive oil. Musical events, nature walks, workshops, andother activities are held that center around the olive harvest and theproduction of olive oil. Israel is a country where olive trees areconsidered sacred, and where olive oil is a symbol of abundance andhealth. Tourists who are in the country during the harvest season canalso join in the many interesting and colorful events that accompany the oliveharvest Israeli cuisine(Hebrew: המטבח הישראלי‎ ha-mitbachha-yisra’eli) comprises local dishes by people native to Israel and dishes broughtto Israel by Jews from the Diaspora. Since before the establishment of theState of Israel in 1948, and particularly since the late 1970s, an IsraeliJewish fusion cuisine has developed.Israeli cuisine has adopted, and continuesto adapt, elements of various styles of Jewish cuisine and regional Arabcuisine, particularly the Mizrahi, Sephardic and Ashkenazi styles of cooking.It incorporates many foods traditionally eaten in Middle Eastern andMediterranean cuisines, and foods such as falafel, hummus, shakshouka,couscous, and za\'atar are now thought to be synonymous with Israeli cuisine.Other influences on cuisine are the availability offoods common to the Mediterranean region, especially certain kinds of fruitsand vegetables, dairy products and fish; the distinctive traditional dishesprepared at holiday times; the tradition of keeping kosher; and food customsspecific to Shabbat and different Jewish holidays, such as challah, jachnun,malawach, gefilte fish, cholent (hamin) and sufganiyot. New dishes based onagricultural products such as oranges, avocados, dairy products and fish, andothers based on world trends have been introduced over the years, and chefstrained abroad have brought in elements of other international cuisines. Kosher foods are those that conform to theregulations of kashrut (Jewish dietary law). Food that may be consumedaccording to halakha (Jewish law) is termed kosher in English,from the Ashkenazi pronunciation of the Hebrew term kashér, meaning\"fit\" (in this context, fit for consumption). Food that is not inaccordance with Jewish law is called treif (Yiddish: טרײף or treyf, derived from Hebrew A listof some kosher foods are found in the books of Leviticus 11:1-47 and Deuteronomy14: 3-20, as are also certain kosher rules. Reasons for food not being kosherinclude the presence of ingredients derived from nonkosher animals or fromkosher animals that were not slaughtered in the ritually proper manner, amixture of meat and milk, wine, or grape juice (or their derivatives) producedwithout supervision, the use of produce from Israel that has not been tithed,or the use of non-kosher cooking utensils and machinery.
