Finest gifts from The Holy Land

Jesus’s ministry spanned the Galilee region far and wide, but Capernaum took on special significance.

Walking through the ruins of the old synagogue, which sits on the shores of the Sea of Galilee, one soon realizes why Caperneam was dubbed “His own city”. After all, it was here that Jesus gathered his first disciples, who were fisherman in the glistening blue Sea.

Bethlehem, or Bet Lechem in Hebrew, is located in the Judean hills, just 5 miles south of Jerusalem.

It was here that Jesus was born, and it was here, according to Luke, that an angel appeared to the shepherds, saying,

“Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.” Luke: 2:10-11.

There is nothing like the Golan in the winter and spring months. Watching families, friends and giggling children enjoying the snowy slopes of the stunning Mount Hermon truly warms our hearts. Breathing in the fresh cool air of spring, and watching the snowcapped hills melt away and transform into the snow-white covered blossom of the almond tree – the first of the trees to blossom.

With its fascinating history, Jaffa is believed to be one of the oldest active seaports in the world, spanning thousands of years! It is at this port that the cedar beams for the first temple were imported from Lebanon.
