### **Day One – Exploring the Galil**

We begin our adventure descending through the majestic Judean Desert and Jordan Valley.
Our first stop: The Jordan Valley memorial to our fallen heroes of the valley and panoramic overlook.
We will capture the breathtaking scope of the modern miracle and prophecy;  the return of our people to our land, and the blooming of the deserts.

From there, we journey  to the shores of Lake Kinneret and the holy city of **Tiberias**, where we will:

* Visit a beautifully **restored Talmudic-era synagogue and its majestic  mosaic floor**
* Pay tribute and davening Mincha at the **ancient cemetery**, resting place of **Rambam** and Talmud luminaries.
* Enjoy **lunch at your choice** of lakeside restaurants

In the afternoon, we’ll explore **Hazor** — the largest archaeological site in Israel. Once a mighty Canaanite city, Hazor was famously defeated by Deborah and Jael. The massive ruins bring the stories of the Tanach to life.
We will have dinner at an eatery of your choice  in the "development town " of  Hazor

We will  arrive at the "Bakfar" country  retreat, a hidden gem in the upper Hula valley, with scenery and serenity to welcome us.

We will enjoy an evening of camaraderie and relaxation.

### Day Two – Ascend the Golan

After a relaxing breakfast and a chance to enjoy the lush grounds, we’ll explore the strategic and scenic **Golan Heights**,  including:

* **Mitzpe Gadot**: Former Syrian fortifications with sweeping views over the Hula Valley, conquered by the heroic  Golani Brigade in 1967 (the classic story of Eli Cohen, our "Man in Damascus") , is told here.

* A * complete *Talmudic-era village and synagogue**, unearthed  after  the 1967 liberation of the Heights

* The unique **Golan Archaeological Museum** in Katzrin (capital of the Golan Heights), featuring a powerful film on **Gamla**, the “Masada of the North”, and the most complete collection of recently unearthed Golan archaeology.

Lunch at an eatery of your choice in Katzrin, the picturesque capital of the Golan Heights.

* **Mayanot Kedem**  beautiful Nature Reserve, source of the Golan’s famous bottled spring water

* **Tel Saki**, an extinct volcano and heroic 1973 battlefield, where a handful  of our soldiers repulsed massive Syrian invading forces. The site  offers magnificent  views deep into Syria today

We’ll conclude our journey by descending the **spectacular Hamat Gader road**, reaching the unique tri-border point where **Israel, Jordan, and Syria meet**.
