Mount Tavor (Tabor) Israel video tour

with David Hyman, professional tour guide. Mount Tabor is possibly the most famous mountain in Israel. Together with Carmel and Hermon, Tabor is a name used all over the world. In Hebrew, we use the soft B sound and it is pronounced Har ( Mountain) Tavor. My plan was t visit the 100-year-old basilica that stands on top of the mountain, but due to covid, the owners have not reopened the shrine for visitors. So I decided to walk the circular path around the summit and film this video for you. Tabor has so much history and biblical references so I could easily record a full video without visiting the basilica. We will see the massive fortifications from the 12h century CE when a large fortress was built on the summit and the mountain played a key role during the struggles and battles between the crusader kingdom and the Ayoubi armies of Saladin. We will see a small cave that was dedicated by the Greek Orthodox church to commemorate the meeting place of Abraham and Malkitzedek ( Genesis 14). From the top, we can expand our vu=iews in all directions, to Nazareth, Galilee, Golan, Gilead, Jezreel valley and Gilboa. I will share the story from the book of Judges, when Deborah and Barak when to war against the Canaanites and summoned the troops to meet on Mount Tabor. And my greatest surprise and I ope yours to, was that I managed to reach the Basilica of Transfiguration from the Eastern side, and could sit on ancient steps and contemplate on the moment of transfiguration.
