With beautiful views of the Sea of Galilee also see local agriculture and learn how controlling this freshwater lake is crucial to the State of Israel and caused a war in 1967 with Syrians that set on the lake eastern shores and the Golan Heights.
Capernaum. Proceed to Capernaum and from archaeology, you will learn about Jewish life in the Sea of Galilee and how introducing a paralyzed man from a house rooftop was actually possible (Luke 5:17-26).
See where Jesus’ headquarters was (Matthew 8:14-16) and why Capernaum location was important for Jesus’ ministry. Visit the monuments that are standing to commemorate HIS presence in Capernaum – the Church and the Synagogue (Mark 1:21).
