Now that’s a learning experience!
Studying by reading is good but experiencing the ancient village of Ketzrin by putting on ancient clothing, getting to practice making olive oil, sitting in an ancient house, and making your own bread - now that’s a learning experience!
Katzrin
The ancient Jewish farming village of Katzrin was built around a spring, which still flows. Although there were standing ruins on the site, archaeological excavations have increased the number of accessible ancient buildings. An ancient synagogue was discovered in 1967 and excavated between 1971 and 1984. Other parts of the village were excavated beginning in 1983. Some of the buildings have been reconstructed on their ancient foundations and furnished with replicas of household goods and tools
Tel Dan, formerly know as Laish, took us back to Judges 18 when the tribe of Dan chose the easy path and convenience by building two gold calfs to worship instead of God’s chosen place of Jerusalem. One gold calf was in Tel Dan and the other in another location worshiped by the Ephraim tribe. In Revelation 7, guess which two tribes are not counted with the 144,000...
Tel Dan
On the northern frontier of the kingdom, Dan was particularly well fortified. This gatehouse was built in the ninth century BCE, probably by Ahab, and is part of a series of gateways discovered.
Rains found us in Caesarea Phillipi but didn’t stay long. We still learned of and walked through the ancient ruins where Peter boldly proclaimed to Jesus ‘You are the Messiah.’
The day ended with a fun bon fire to commemorate our last night at Galilee. Tomorrow, Yerushalayim!!!
Caesarea Philippi
This abundant water supply has made the area very fertile and attractive for religious worship. Numerous temples were built at this city in the Hellenistic and Roman periods.
