Our first stop today was the city of Safed overlooking the Sea of Galilee. Safed has received some international attention lately because it is the center of the flourishing Kabbalah movement--Madonna has visited here. It is a charming town with a WONDERFUL art district. We visited several very old synagogues--one very conservative (I was asked to wear a scarf because I was showing too much skin.) and one more liberal. Both were still active congregations with great histories.

Our final stop was the site of a famous battle from the Six Day War in the Golan Heights (actually Banias was also in the Golan Heights).
Well, I've already taken over 1000 pictures--I hope some of them are good! Tomorrow we leave Galilee and head to Jerusalem for Shabbat.
I have to apologize for the typos and any grammatical errors. By the time I sit down to blog each night I am mentally exhausted. But this has been and continues to be great. I can't wait to get home and reflect on it all, but right now all I can do is report.
I miss everyone and I truly wish you were here. You must make this pilgrimage some time!

I hope your 2400 picture camera memory capacity holds up!
We ate some barbeque in your honor last night.
Seriously, you showed more skin than Madonna?
