Virtual Tour of Israel: Journey Through the North’s Holy Sites

Virtual Tour of Israel: Journey Through the North’s Holy Sites
Wednesday, October 9 at 10am PT/1pm ET

Israel’s north has long played a major role in the development of Jewish history and theology. Additionally, it has spots that are revered by Druze and Baha’is. On this tour, we will first explore some of the sites connected with the Jewish history of the area. We will then visit a Druze holy site and use that as a springboard to discuss this lesser-known minority group who make up a small but significant percentage of Israel’s population (many of whom serve in the IDF with distinction). The Bahai Gardens in Akko and Haifa, regarded as the first and second holiest places in the world, respectively, by the Bahai religion, will be our final stops. Nosson will also touch on how the North has played a role during the current war in Israel, and how Israelis of all ethnicities and religions have been affected.
