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. —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-- / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—--

Rosh Hanikra Israel. Rosh HaNikra ( “head of the grottos”) is a geologic formation in Israel, located on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, in the Western Galilee near the border with Lebanon. It is a white chalk cliff face which opens up into spectacular grottos. The Rosh HaNikra grottos are cavernous tunnels formed by sea action on the soft chalk rock. The total length is some 200 meters. They branch off in various directions with some interconnecting segments. In the past, the only access to them was from the sea and experienced divers were the only ones capable of visiting. Today a cable car takes visitors down to see the grottos. There is a tell about a young bride who was forced to marry an old and rich men from Tyre (a city in lebanon). So on the way to her wedding when she arrived to the top of the rock, she jumped down to the sea. She was vanished in the sea and never seen again. If you listen carefully when you are in the caves you can still hear her moaning.

“Rosh haNikra is a cliff at the sea, right at the northern border of Israel towards Lebanon. The name means “head of the cave”, and tells us why this place is listed on showcaves.com: there are numerous impressive sea caves at the foot of the cliff, which may be reached by cable car. The longest cave is 200m long. The cliff consits of white chalk, and looks similar to the cliffs of Dover. The caves were formed by the work of the sea water, following fracture zones in the rock which are weaker than undisturbed rocks. The cliffs were always a problem for travel and trade. The mountains ridge orms a natural border, and so very early a tunnel was hewn into the soft chalk. Alexander of Macedonea (Alexander the Great) is credited for having hewed the first tunnel in 323 BC to create a passageway for his army after besieging Tyre. Later this road was used by the armies of the Seleucids and the Ptolemies. In 1099 AD it was used by the Crusaders. In World War I the British Army built the first road, which as accessible to motor vehicles. The latest and most impressive traffic route through the cliff was the Haifa-Beirut-Tripoli railway, which was built by the British during World War II. There were three tunnels, one on each side of the border and one crossing the border. The tunnel on the Israelian side may be visited. The railroad tracks are removed, but there is a sort of “tourist railroad”. The caves are numerous interconnected branches totaling 200m. Formed by the work of the sea they are located around sea level at the foot of the cliff, and the only way to enter their natural entrance is with diving gear and rather dangerous. In 1968 a 400m long tunnel was opened to allow access to the caves. ”..... Thanks for viewing and commenting. Copyrights (c) Nira Dabush

From my original watercolor… / / Featured in Bagels and Lox – Jewish themed art and writing / / All About the Blowing of the Shofar: / Sounding of the Shofar / / We are bidden by the Torah to sound a Shofar on Rosh Hashanah, as the verse (Bamidbar 29:1) states: And in the seventh month, on the first of the month, it shall be declared a holiday for you, a day of sounding a teruah for you. Rambam (Hilchot Teshuvah 3) writes: Although the sounding of the shofar on Rosh Hashanah is a Divine decree [which is accepted without our having to understand its reason], nevertheless, we can discern a purpose in doing so. It is as if it tells us: Sleepers, arise from your slumber, and those who are dozing, awake from your lethargy. Review your actions, repent your sins, and remember your Creator! Those who forget the truth with the passing of time and who waste their years pursuing vanity and folly that is purposeless and cannot save you – look into your souls and improve your ways and your deeds. Let all abandon the ways of evil and thoughts that offer no benefit. Rav Sa’adyah Gaon writes that the sounding of the shofar on Rosh Hashanah contains ten symbolic elements: 1. Rosh Hashanah marks the beginning of the Creation, the day when G-d created the world and became its Sovereign. As it is customary to sound trumpets to glorify a king and proclaim one’s subservience to him, similarly do we show our acceptance of G-d’s dominion by sounding the shofar. 2. Rosh Hashanah marks the first day of the Ten Days of Repentance. We therefore sound the shofar as a means of announcing and warning that this period has begun. It is as if we announce: Those who choose to repent should do so now, and if they choose not to do so, let them not come later and complain about their fate. This too is the manner in which kings exercise their dominion, announcing their decrees to the accompaniment of trumpet blasts. 3. The sounding of the shofar served as a reminder of the revelation at Mount Sinai, which was also accompanied by shofar blasts. Thus, by listening to the shofar and remembering that event, we once again accept upon ourselves that which our fathers accepted upon themselves. 4. The sounding of the shofar serves to remind us of the remonstrations of our Prophets which are compared to the sounding of the shofar, as the verses (Yechezkel 33:4-5) state: And if the listener shall hear the sound of the shofar and not be careful, then the sword shall come and take him. And if he shall be careful, then his soul has escaped. 5. The sounding of the shofar serves to remind us of the destruction of the Beit ha-Mikdash and the trumpet calls of the armies of our enemies. Thus when we hear the shofar, we should pray for the rebuilding of our Holy Temple. 6. The sounding of the shofar serves as a reminder of the shofar of the ram at the binding of Yitzchak, who offered his life to G-d but in whose place the ram was sacrificed instead. We too should stand ready to make our lives a sanctification of His Name and we pray that this serve as a source of merit for us. 7. The sounding of the shofar instills a sense of trepidation and fear that leads us to humble ourselves before G-d, as the verse (Amos 3:8) states: If the shofar is sounded in the city, will people not tremble? 8. The sounding of the shofar serves to remind us of the forthcoming great Day of judgment, as the verses (Tzefanyah 1:14,16) state: The great day of G-d is near, close and quick [to come].. . is the day of [the sounding of] the shofar and the teruah. 9. The sounding of the shofar serves as a reminder of the future ingathering of the dispersed exiles of Israel and to awaken our yearning for it, of which the verse (Yeshayahu 27:13) states: And it shall be on that day, the great shofar shall be sounded and those who have been lost among Ashur shall come [back]. 10. The sounding of the shofar serves to remind us of the resurrection of the dead, as the verse (ibid. 18:3) states: All those inhabitants of the world and those who dwell in the earth, when a sign is lifted upon the mountains you shall see and when the shofar is sounded you shall hear.
