Nestled in the heart of the green mountains of the Galilee it is the smallest Kibbutz in Israel!.
It was very late when we arrived so here are some outdoor photos
From here we would explore Nazareth, Capernaum, The Sea of Galilee and meet Claude Ezagouri a Messianic Jew who talked to us in the evening.
Nazareth Village
Nazareth is the capital and the largest city in the Northern District of Israel. Nazareth is known as "the Arab capital of Israel". In 2017 its population was 76,551.The Nazareth Village is located in the middle of Nazareth and is a first-century farm and village presenting the life, times and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth for all the world. It helped to understand what life was like during Jesus’ time, the site is largely untouched since Jesus’ time. John 1:46 Nathanael said to him, ‘Can anything good come out of Nazareth?’ Philip said to him, ‘Come and see.’ It is definitely worth a visit even to add to your own understanding and imagination when reading the bible, adding some colour to what you read.
Nazareth Village is the only place where they get to see what these ruins looked like where they were still in use. Seeing how they pressed grapes, a three stage process. The millstone is approx. half a tonne, the first press is the special oil, very little is pressed out., second press is the oil used in food for humans and the 3rd press goes to animals, it’s like a mulch at this point.
You cause the grass to grow for the cattle, and plants for people to use, to bring forth food from the earth, 15and wine to gladden the human heart, oil to make the face shine, and bread to strengthen the human heart. (Psalm 104:14-15)
