Today
we climbed up Mount Arbel to Wadi Hamam. Mount Arbel is a mountain in The Lower Galilee near
Tiberias, with a view of Mount Hermon in the Golan Heights. It
is close to the ruins of an ancient Jewish village with a Synagogue from the
4th century C.E.
We then headed to Kfar Kedem where we got our drivers license – not for
cars – but for donkeys! Kfar Kedem recreates the day-to-day life of the ancient
land and we were transported back to our heritage learning how to thresh grain,
press oil and grapes, and eating rustic cooking in a shepherd’s tent. Riding
donkeys whilst being dressed up was definitely an interesting experience!
After that we visited Tzippori, the place where the Mishna was written.
Rabbi Yehuda HaNassi, who compiled the Mishnah, lived in Tzippori for 17 years
until his death.
We then headed to Jerusalem and checked in to the Caesar Hotel.
