In every direction are walking/hiking/ biking trails. During the winter and spring, water is flowing in three streams, all converging at Eucalyptus Park on Route 38 Discover “our back yard”.

Amongst many other available activities in the area, young children will enjoy visiting the nearby parrot and kangaroo park while for those interested in archeology a visit to the “Pompeii of Israel” in nearby Bet Shean is a must.

The North Negev & Great Craters While deserts make up 70% of Israel’s landmass, for many people the Negev is an unknown. The fall and winter months are the ideal time to tour this area but even during the summer the temperatures can be cooler than in Jerusalem owing to the high elevation of the Negev Plateau.

A geological feature found in the North Negev and unique to Israel are the Machteshim, loosely translated as “Craters”. Kids can enjoy camel riding and filling up bottles with the red, green, white and purple sand that covers the

region over 2,000 years ago. One of the longest river beds in Israel cuts through the desert just below David Ben Gurion’s retirement home and a walk through the magnificent Ein Ovdat Canyon and oasis is a must for anybody visiting this area.

There’s more than can possibly be done in one day but this area is only a one and a half hour drive from Bet Shemesh.

The Arbel offers deep history and natural beauty. On a clear day Mt. Hermon, Israel’s tallest mountain, is visible from here. The shul, built in the fourth century CE, was by far the biggest and most ornate structure in the village.

Arbel is mentioned in Sefer Hoshea as an example of a city that was destroyed

by Shalmanesser, the King of Assyria.

Just minutes away from the shul is the grave site of Rabi Zeira. Originally from Babylon, Rabi Zeira fasted over one hundred times in order to forget the Babylonian style of learning so that he could relearn according to the custom of Eretz Yisrael. In the true spirit of Avraham Avinu, he left all that was familiar, as well as the prestige and power associated with being one of the great Amora’im of Babylon, to start all over in Israel.

Mesorah Tours offers a Torah perspective while touring. Rabbi Yosef Back brings a passion to connect his Torah learning to Eretz Yisrael, bringing out the Torah that originated from the very ground we stand on. Our Sages were experts on the Land of Israel and left us a sea of knowledge about it.

Yosef can be contacted at 052-858-8803, or via email at yosef@torahtourguide.com

caves, and deep blue waters of Rosh HaNikra along our border with Lebanon.

While touring in the Western Galilee, there are many other fascinating sites that can be included on your next trip.

Situated at 350 meters above sea level and nestled in a JNF-KKL forest, Hanita was a “Tower and Stockade” kibbutz, built in the 1930’s to defy British restrictions on Jewish settlement. The kibbutz boasts a pioneer museum, archeological finds, a film, and memorial to the brave founders.

Nearby, enjoy a nature walk and spectacular views from the Keshet cave – or go extreme with rappelling off the cliff! Prefer to keep your feet on solid ground? Even if its below ground? Tour through the more recently excavated rooms, passages, and halls of Akko’s remarkable Crusader City and then walk through the secret tunnel right out to the dramatic Mediterranean coast.

Complete your day with a visit to the Tunisian Synagogue to marvel at the mosaics and hear about this unique community.

Wander through the streets, and get a taste of the writings, art, and wisdom of the many authors, artists, visionaries, and scholars who once lived here such as Nachum Gutman, S.Y. Agnon and Rav Kook; people who helped set the tone for the thriving Jewish community that became Tel Aviv-Jaffa.

Have more than a few hours?

Compliment your walk through Neve Tzedek with a visit to old Jaffa, a tour of the Hagana museum, or an introduction to Bauhaus architecture in the UNESCO World Heritage White City of Tel Aviv.

Herodian National Park Herodian National Park is one of the most fascinating antiquities sites in the country Herod, the last Jewish king of the Second Temple period, died in Jericho in the 4th century B.C.E. He built a combined palace and powerful fortress in Herodian, south of Jerusalem and close the Bethlehem. During the Great Revolt of the Jews against the Romans, the rebels had a base at Herodium, constructing a synagogue there that can still be seen. During the Bar Kokhba Revolt, Jewish fighters hewed tunnels within the artificial mountain, part of which are lit and accessible to visitors.

unusual way which has created bathtub size pockets flowing with crystal clear water which are great for getting wet.

Yardenit Yardenit is at the southern end of the Kineret where the Jordan River begins its flow towards Bet Shean. There is a nameless but awesome area just downstream from Yardenit with a two kilometer stretch of flowing fresh water.

There are a dozen Tarzan swings, tree jumps, and even a pipeline bridge from which you can take the plunge into the water. If there is such a thing as a natural waterpark, than this is it.

You will also find turtles and aquatic birds, plenty of shaded picnic spots, and fish. This site is for advanced swimmers only. Always check the water before jumping or swinging into it!

Alma Cave Alma cave, also known as the Babylonian Cave is considered to be the cave through which some of the Jews returning from Bavel traveled through to Jerusalem. This 105 meter deep cavern is an exciting way to spend the afternoon while beating the heat. The A/C is always on inside the pitch black hole.

A reliable flashlight and clothing that you are happy to get dirty are a must.

Parts of this marked underground trail are tight and require physical exertion, so be warned. For those who love a good challenge the Alma Cave is for you Keshet Cave is an arch-shaped stone bridge, just to the east of Rosh Hanikra.

It was created through a carstic erosional process. The stroller accessible path leading from the parking area of Park Idmit leads visitors on a short and scenic stroll to the caves opening which yawns over a panoramic view of the upper Galil. The park is situated right along the border road.
