Nestled in the “breadbasket” of the agricultural heart of Israel sits Jezreel Valley. Situated there in Hanaton is Jezreel Valley Winery, founded by Jacob Ner-David.
We had the honor of talking with Jacob about the history of the region and the winery, his views of the spirituality of wine, and how he and his family practices Shabbat. He’s graciously hosted us at his Shabbat table for food and wine and we thought his perspective is one we wanted to share with others.
We hope you enjoy this featured look at the founder (and one of the heartbeats) behind Jezreel Valley Winery, one of our most beloved wineries and the home of our friends.
“For this little bit of time, let’s just focus on the table. Who’s around the table, who’s not around the table and just be in the moment.”
