The Galilee tour is a whole day affair especially when your base is in Jerusalem. You should plan to be out for twelve hours, unless you plan to book accommodations in the north. 

• Meron– Visit the Graves of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai along with some of Israel’s greatest sages. See the remains of a magnificent Galilean Synagogue built on the site of Rebbe Shimon’s home town. Find out the connection of the region to the Chanuka story and Biblical Tekoa.
• Tsfat– One of the four holy cities in Israel. Find out why the city has such a mystical vibe, and learn about the important personalities and works which emanated from there. Visit the Artist quarter, and see the remains of what was once the largest castle in the Middle East.
• Tiberias– Israel’s resort town in the north; Tiberias sits on the shores of the Kinneret. It is both fun and historic, and as one of Israel’s four holy cities, has an aura of spirituality as well.

Other options include:

• Major sites in the Bible: Megiddo, Jezreel, Hatzor, Kedesh, and Mt. Tavor
• In the Footsteps of Rebbi: Beit Shearim, Tzippori, and Donkey riding.
• Along the Coast: Haifa, Navy Museum, Mt. Carmel, Akko, Rosh Hanikra
• Kiverei Tzadikim: Rebbi Yehuda HaNassi, Amuka, Rebbe Akiva, Resh Lakish, Abyae and Rava, Rebbe Meir Baal HaNess, Tsfat Cemetery, and many many more.
