About two thousand years ago, the Temple - the beating heart of the Jewish people - was destroyed, and exile began as longings and longings of redemption accompanied the people throughout the ages. About six years after the destruction, another devastation occurred when the results of the Bar Kochba revolt meant that Jews could no longer live around Jerusalem and the Land of Judah.

But the people of Israel did not give up, and with his stubbornness, moved to the Galilee and made the Galilee and the center - Jewish Tiberias, where we are today, the object of salvation of the future.

From Usha, from the place of despair, the leadership wandered and moved as far as Tiberias - the navel of the Land of Israel. The leadership in building the Jewish people, amending regulations for organizing family and community life, begins with the nation's foundational building blocks. And the road that began in Usha, in the Great Rift, in despair, slowly soars and passes through Shfaram - to improve the people, to the top of the city that sits at the top of the mountain like a bird and reaches Tiberias - the deepest of all that will be redeemed.

A clear. "

The devoted owners brought to the people of Israel the laws of writing a Torah scroll based on the Torah written in Tiberias, and poetry of longing and anticipation was written as "I will celebrate Yom Yisrael," and when the pioneers came to settle the land and fulfill the longing dream they sang "to the scroll." The first citrus orchard in Israel was planted in the Rakat Valley, and during the War of Independence Tiberias was the first mixed city to pass into the hands of the Jewish defense forces, opening the process of establishing the state - the beginning of our salvation.

As a Galilee man and as a Galilee researcher, I deal extensively with events, personalities, and past events in this area. And as an educator, I was troubled for many years by how the Galilee and the city of Tiberias were put to their proper place on the history stage, how people connect to the Jewish Galilee and its history.

Among other ideas that have brewed over the years has been to connect people to the place and the area. The verse "Get up and walk across the country longitudinally and broadly because you are being ethnically" translates UNCLOS "Get up and take a stroll and work hard there."
