ISRAEL 2: The Arbel

Just before sunset on Oct. 13th, Abba Niv took me to the Arbel, a unique site that combines nature, heritage, and an impressive cliff that overlooks the Sea of Galilee, the Golan, and Mt. Hermon. At the site are remains of a settlement over 2,000 years old. Its residents lived on the northern edges of the Arbel valley, in a village of natural caves located on the Arbel cliff and on Mt. Nitai on the western side of the Arbel stream. (Adjust your screen brightness as necessary.)
