Shalom Pollack: Two-day tour to the north- Oct 22- 23

I'm thrilled to invite you on a remarkable two-day (one overnight) journey to the breathtaking north of Israel,  — **the Galil and Golan Heights** — filled with history, beauty, and inspiration.

**Dates:** Wednesday and Thursday, October 22 and  23

 **Departure:** 8:30 AM from the Inbal Hotel ### 

**Day One – Exploring the Galil** We begin our adventure in the majestic Judean Desert and Jordan Valley.  Our first stop: The Jordan Valley memorial to our fallen heroes of the valley and panoramic overlook capturing 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 ** unearthed and restored Talmudic-era synagogue and its majestic   mosaic floor**
* Pay tribute and  Mincha at the **ancient cemetery**, resting place of **Rambam** and Talmud luminaries in the city where the Jerusalem Talmud was produced.
* Enjoy **lunch of your choice** at the "promenade" . In the afternoon, we’ll explore ** Tel Hazor** — the largest archaeological site in Israel. Once a mighty Canaanite city, Hazor was famously defeated by the judge 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  Beautiful  scenery and serenity  welcome us at the "Bakfar" country  retreat, a hidden gem in the  Hula valley.
We will enjoy a tranquil evening of camaraderie and relaxation in the lush surroundings. 

 ### 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 1973 battlefield, where a handful of our soldiers repulsed massive Syrian invading forces.
