Beit She'arim is one of those places I'd never heard of before coming to Israel to study Hebrew, so it was all new to me. What an incredible place to explore!
It's a national park, but on the way in to the park, there are things to see...
...like the remains of a 2,000-year-old synagogue
...old city gates and an olive press from the same time period
...the remains of an old basilica
...a statue of Alexander Zaid, who started the kibbutz down below, and a beautiful view over the Jezreel Valley
... and more! Come back next week for Part 2 of the series on Beit She'arim!
