Summary |
Something that can only be truly appreciated when in Israel, is what it means to live the Jewish calendar. I am referring to the weekly calendar, not even to the Jewish holidays. After a restful Shabbat we set out yesterday, Sunday, which in Israel is a regular workday for Yad VaShem, to Israel’s memorial and museum to the Holocaust, which is always impactful. Later the same day, we took a fun boat ride along the picturesque northern coastline of Israel.
From our base in Tiberias, in the north, which is by the Sea of Galilee, we took a guided tour of the Golan Heights in jeeps which navigated the tough terrain. A local resident shared with us stories about the Six Day War, the Yom Kippur War, as well as the current Civil War in Syria, a war which has created 7 million refugees and resulted in the death of about ½ million Syrians. Staying at the Galei Kineret, we have been treated to the outstanding cuisine of one of Israel’s premier and most well-known chefs, Assaf Granit.
Tomorrow we conclude what has been an amazing experience with a visit to the beautiful coastal town, Caeserea.
