Put on your running shoes and get ready to tour the Central Galilee region
Let’s celebrate together Israel’s Yom Ha’atzmaut (Independence Day) with a refreshing and enriching virtual running or walking workout (or just on the couch!) through the historical roots of our Central Galilee Partnership region to learn about the many different faces of Israel. And come and meet Amit, Noa, Itai and Ron, the new Shinshinim, who will be joining you in Detroit next year.
Daniel and Michael from @runningaroundjerusalem have prepared three different routes that lead us back and forth in the Jewish history and the building of a nation and a country.
Migdal HaEmek: Zionism Up Close and Personal
Run across the history of immigration and absorption in Migdal Haemek, where Jews from many different backgrounds and origins from North Africa, the former Soviet Union, Ethiopia, and more live together.
Zippori: Old and New
In Zippori, run through thousands of years of history in the magnificent archeological site of the ancient town that played an essential role in the conservation and reviving of Jewish faith and traditions. You’ll have a look at the modern Moshav Zippori that specializes in sustainable agriculture and tourism.
Nof HaGalil: Along the Nazareth Ridge
Nof Hagalil was envisioned by David Ben Gurion in the fifties. Experience the history of this unique diverse city. From Tel Tirya, the ancient Jewish archeological site to the breathtaking views of the Galilee as well as the ancient streets of Nazareth.
