TL;DR - Have You Heard of the Sabra Plant?: This iconic cactus is more than just a desert dweller—it’s a powerful symbol of Israeli resilience and strength. Its thorny exterior reflects toughness, while its sweet interior represents kindness, much like the character of native-born Israelis, or “Sabras.”
- Saving an Israeli Treasure: When a deadly pest threatened the sabra’s survival, retired agronomist Mendel sprang into action, combining science and international collaboration to save this cultural symbol.
- Rooted in Passion: Even after retirement, Mendel remains a guiding force for farmers, proving that passion and expertise can leave a lasting legacy.
- A Lesson for All of Us: Mendel’s story reminds us that preserving cultural and natural heritage takes creativity, collaboration, and heart—values that resonate deeply within our line of work!
