You're probably all familiar with the maxim that claims that the olives back then were probably much larger than the olives we eat today.

It's important for various halachic measurements, most relevant to us during this upcoming Pesach - how much Matza are we are supposed to eat.

Researcher's at Bar Ilan are claiming that the size of the olives back then, was actually smaller than they are today.

Uh Oh.

But don't Pasken like this just yet. It hasn't yet been rabbinically approved, and this is only these researcher's opinion.

Even the rediscovery of T'chellet still hasn't been accepted in many quarters.
