The market in the old city of Nazareth, Israel, offer a variety of goods from food to household, cloths to books, all in a colorful bustling and narrow streets and alleys. The market is one of Israel’s largest, traditional bazaars. It sprawls over a large part of the Old City and has spilled over into many secondary areas, such as the Vegetable Market where, despite the name, wedding dresses can be bought! / At weekends, the market is a major attraction for people across the Galilee, both Jews and Arabs, who come to sample the wide range of goods on offer. / Until recently, the shops were usually built from a jumble of wood, plastic and tin - sometimes completely blocking streets and squares - and the whole area was entangled in a web of electrical and telephone cables. But now the streets have been repaved with Galilee stones and black Golan basalt, and the market has been given a more modern look, though it still retains its traditional charm.

Rosh Hanikra is in the northwestern corner of Israel, on the border of Israel and Lebanon. The white chalk cliffs offer a spectacular panoramic view of Haifa Bay, the hills of the Galilee and the Mediterranean. The grottoes of Rosh Hanikra were formed by the sea chipping away portions of the soft chalk rock over thousands of years. These beautiful grottoes are the main attraction of Rosh Hanikra. —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-- / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—--

The holy city of Safed, perched on a mountain top in the upper Galilee, conjures many images to all lovers of the city. The romantic flavor of narrow cobblestone lanes and ancient synagogues fills one’s lungs with a new spirit. The rusty old houses with there domed roofs clearly identifies the city with the mysterious past of the Holy Land. The history of Safed, in real terms, dates back only five hundred years to the beginning of the 16th century. As if out of nowhere, Jews from near and far settled there – as if answering a divine call – and built the largest Jewish settlement in Palestine. Furthermore, great scholars and mystics opened yeshivos in Safed, being an added incentive to other young men of wisdom to settle there. In one sense, the last half of the 16th century was the pinnacle of Torah grandeur which the city experienced. The author of the Shulchan Aruch (Jewish Code of Laws), Rabbi Joseph Karo, sat at the head of the rabbinical court while compiling his compendium of Jewish Law. At the same time, another saintly man by the name of Rabbi Isaac Luria revealed the mystical side of the Torah, called Kabalah. Together these men and their disciples opened new pathways to the Torah which embedded an invisible holiness in the very rocks of the city. Today everyone who strolls through the city is caught off guard by the hidden spirit of Safed which vibrates full of life after so many generations. Not only newcomers are surprised, but even weathered old comers as well. Images from Safed: / Images from Abuhav Synagogue: /

About the scots hotel – history: / “The original medical centre was established in the 19th century by Dr David Watt Torrance – a young Scottish doctor, who believed in his mission to heal the people of the Holy Land. / Dr Torrance first arrived in Tiberius in 1884, as the head of the Church of Scotland mission, and motivated by the poor health and sanitary conditions, worked day and night to serve the rapidly expanding population. In January 1894 the first hospital of Tiberias was opened with the specific purpose of being available to all regardless of race or creed.”........ / “The Scots Hotel is uniquely situated in the centre of Tiberias with direct frontage on to the Sea of Galilee.This boutique hotel complex, owned by The Church of Scotland, comprises several sensitively refurbished 19th century basalt stone buildings together with a “new build” main bedroom block. Redesigned and planned with the clear intention of preserving the original character and air of the properties, the outcome is a unique harmony of old and new, combining the original architectural style with the modern amenities you would expect of a five star hotel. ” .......... / Thanks for viewing and commenting. / Have a delightful day… / May the chidot = enigmas of the day, will be easy :-) / Copyrights© Nira Dabush

The Sea of Gallilee, also Lake of Gennesaret, Lake Kinneret or Sea of Tiberias , is Israel’s largest freshwater lake, being approximately 53 km (33 miles) in circumference, about 21 km (13 miles) long, and 13 km (8 miles) wide. The lake has a total area of 166 km², and a maximum depth of approximately 43 m. At 209 meters below sea level, it is the lowest freshwater lake on Earth and the second-lowest lake in the world (after the Dead Sea, a saltwater lake). The Kinneret is situated deep in the Jordan Great Rift Valley, the valley caused by the separation of the African and Arabian Plates and is fed partly by underground springs although its main source is the Jordan River which flows through it from north to south. Consequently the area is subject to earthquakes and, in the past, volcanic activity. This is evident by the abundant basalt and other igneous rocks that define the geology of the Galilee region. Much of the ministry of Jesus occurred on the shores of Lake Galilee. In those days, there was a continuous ribbon development of settlements and villages around the lake and plenty of trade and ferrying by boat. The Synoptic gospels of Mark (1:14-20), Matthew (4:18-22), and Luke (5:1-11) describe how Jesus recruited four of his apostles from the shores of Lake Galilee: the fishermen Simon and his brother Andrew and the brothers John and James. One of Jesus’ famous teaching episodes, the Sermon on the Mount, was given on a hill overlooking the lake while many of his miracles were also recorded to occur here including his walking on water, calming a storm, and his feeding five thousand people (in Tabgha). In 135 CE the second Jewish revolt against the Romans was put down. The Romans responded by banning all Jews from Jerusalem. The center of Jewish culture and learning shifted to the region of the Kinneret, particularly the city of Tiberias. It was in this region that the so-called “Jerusalem Talmud” is thought to have been compiled. Inspired by Genesis 1: / “(1) In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.(2) Now the earth was a formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. (3) And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. / (4) God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. (5) God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day. (6) And God said, “Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water.” (7) So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. And it was so. (8) God called the expanse “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day. (9) And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so. (10) God called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” And God saw that it was good.” . . .
