Israeli Hanukkah

In Safed, time has stood still, and at Hanukkah it begins to make music too.

On a tour accompanied by live music and guided by the Ruach Tzfat Centre, we will wander the alleys of the Old City – Beit Yosef and Abuhav – hear Safed stories and melodies from different eras, and uncover the secrets of mysterious synagogues. We will look out over the ancient cemetery and the tomb of Hannah and her seven sons, and hear their story, which took place in the days of Hanukkah.

And all along the way we will meet the generations of Safed's fighters: from the Hasmoneans, through 1948 and the liberation of the city, to the present day.

It was once called "the Little Paris of the Land of Israel" and "the bonbonnière of the colonies".

From there we will continue to the colourful market, the visitor centre at the Ramchal Synagogue, and the bustling port.

Lost treasures lie hidden in the streets of Tiberias, and some of them are waiting for us.

On an urban walk from the Archaeological Garden to the Tomb of Maimonides, guided by the Kinneret Field Study Centre, we will try to unravel the city's mysteries: Who were the people who lived here? How does the life's work of the sages of Tiberias a thousand years ago still shape us today? What links the richest woman in the world to this city?

And how was Tiberias rebuilt centuries ago – and what happened here in the War of Independence?

How does a transit camp become a town, and how does a stream come back to life?

Guided by the Orot HaGalil Centre, we will walk along Nahal HaZahav in the shade of its streamside vegetation, to the sound of flowing water.

Nature, scenery and history – in one immersive outing.

To walk along the cliff edge, with the entire Sea of Galilee spread out below.

Together with the guides of Midrashat Harei Gofna, we will enter Ben Shemen Forest like detectives: we will search for the Modi'in of Mattathias the Priest and his sons, try to solve the riddle of the Maccabees' Tombs, and along the way breathe in the wonderful, varied scents of the season's nature.

Guided by the Sha'ar HaGai Field School, amid the hills and cliffs, we will hear about the dramatic battles to open the road and about the fighters who risked their lives to save the capital.

"A land whose chronicles are pursuits – two thousand pages and one page more."
