Golan Heights Day 1

                                 We're off to the Golan Heights!!

A roadside tank museum...let's climb them!!








This Ancient Jewish farming village of  Qasrin or Katzrin is now a museum park giving a revealing picture of what daily life in the early Jewish communities of the Golan and Galilee would have been like. Here you will find a partially restored ancient synagogue dating from the Byzantine period.  Also, two reconstructed houses from the Talmudic era, complete with reproductions of furnishings and implements from those times.




Time to grind the olives


 
And then press them.


"Peek-a-boo"


At the entrance of the Ancient Synagogue.


Davening Mincha

  




   Capernaum Vista Olive Farm produces some of the
best quality olive oil products in the  world
          including cosmetics, foods, soaps, and of course
 olive oil....in many flavors.




After a movie and a tour of the factory, it's time to
 taste the many varieties of olive oil


A quick stop at Eden Springs


And finally..... a stroll through Tiberius
 with dinner and ice cream


Meeting one of the most famous chefs
in Israel...Segev Moshe.
Yonaton enjoying one of the 10 plus
     falafel places in Tiberius...and getting
 free seconds from the owner!!

Time to head home....we have a full day
tomorrow back in the Golan Heights!!
