It’s harvest time for many grape farmers and the vineyards are full. But there are not enough hands on farms to pick and many, many farmers are serving in the military reserves, some for hundreds of days. Volunteers are still needed to help. Farmer and winemaker Daniel Peretz has spent over 450 days in reserves since the war began. He put out a call for volunteers and dozens of Israelis showed up at dawn this week at his vineyard and picked six tons of grapes that will be made into his award-winning wine.
