Israel 2010: Degania, Lake Kinneret, Safed, Golan. 4–6 Sept

Photos 1-6 were taken just after noon on Saturday from a sea level lookout at Alumot Junction, with the Sea of Galilee 600 feet below. Photos 7-10 were taken around 6 PM as we drove to Rosh Pina for dinner. Photos 12-16 are from my hotel window in Safed Sunday morning, looking west to the Merom Mountain range. Photos 17-50 are from a guided tour with Aviva Minoff through the Safed Artists Quarters and three synagogues. Photos 51-56 were taken around 3 PM on Monday, along Highway 98 in the Golan Heights, looking down on Lake Kinneret and the agricultural settlements in the Jordan valley.

    29-Abohav Synagogue. The bima is in the center and the benches for the congregation are arranged around it.
    30-Abohav Synagogue, first built in the 16th century. In its southern wall, instead of one Holy Ark there are three. The middle one is used on a regular basis while the left one is used to store old, worn-out holy books. The one on the right is hardly ever used. In it is a Torah written 500 years ago by Rabbi Isaac Abuhav of Portugal.
