We then traveled to the artistic and mystical city of Safed. We went to two ancient synagogues with rich histories (see the pics). There was great shopping here for Jewish art.
Afterwards, we drove to an old IDF outpost in the Golan Heights on Mt. Bental where Keren filled us in on some details concerning the strategic significance of this area for both security and agriculture. We could see for miles from this vantage point, all the way into Syria.
We stayed the night at Kibbutz Hanita in Gonen, where we also stayed on last year’s trip. Dinner here was excellent, and the rooms were likewise. Another busy day in the books!
