In all honesty, when Amnon first told me that our tour around a wheat factory would be “one of the most unique and incredible experiences of my life” I was a little skeptical. The tour started off with an explanation of the foundation of the Bitan business , a family run wheat business stemming from the guide’s father, who first came to Israel by himself at the age of thirteen. However, in a true Israeli fashion, he was able to turn a small tractor service into Israel’s largest producer of wheat (around 30% of the country’s wheat produce). Yet, the implications of Bitan business are not just commercial – their wheat also accounts for 85% of the Israeli government’s emergency stock. The Bitan business has a five step process of wheat inspection that has been observed by multiple countries. As our main tour guide left us, our educational yet slightly predictable tour was evidently drawing to a close. At this point, we were hot, sweaty, and more than ready to get back on the bus. To our dismay, we were told that we still had one more stop to make. We approached a massive wheat warehouse. The amount of wheat inside is impossible to comprehend without being there – its contents seemed to expand infinitely. We stood in front of the wheat for a few moments, looking around at each other all simultaneously thinking “what now?”. Amnon finally spoke up and instructed us to “go play in the wheat”. Shira was the first to act, diving straight in to the piles of grain. Slowly we all joined in, climbing the wheat mountains, and swimming in seas of wheat. As much as I hate to say it, ‘Non was right- Tvzika really did provide a unique and incredible experience for our entire cohort!
