🌏 Become friends with Setegi : https://bit.ly/WorldTravel_EBS Mount Hermon (approx. 2,814m above sea level), which means "high peak" in Hebrew. A famous mountain in Israel that appears in the Bible, it is called the "Mountain of Snow" because snow can be seen all year round. The eternal snow from Mount Hermon flows into the Sea of ​​Galilee, serving as the source of drinking water for about 90% of all of Israel. In the "Metulah" region near Mount Hermon, battlefields remain where fierce wars were fought with Arabs in the past. We look back once again on the history of the ongoing conflict by discovering a secret arsenal disguised as a mill. The Kibbutz is famous as the driving force that transformed desolate wilderness into fertile farmland. It is an Israeli collective agricultural community village whose name means "cooperation" in Hebrew. There are about 350 kibbutz across Israel, accounting for approximately 17% of the total agricultural population; among them, we visited the Mishmar Ha'emek Kibbutz, which was established in the early days. They do not possess private property; land is state-owned, and everything from production, vehicles, housing, education, and living expenses is jointly owned. All members' income belongs to the kibbutz. Housing is allocated on a couples-to-couple basis, and activities such as laundry, raising dairy cows, and working as shop clerks are divided among members; however, they can change jobs if they are not suited to them. The final destination is the Dead Sea, a lake spanning Israel and Jordan. It has long been famous for its high salinity, which makes it easy for the human body to float, and it is also called the "Lake of Death" because no living organisms inhabit it. Despite being a lifeless salt lake, Israelis have built large-scale tourist facilities there and are generating significant added value by developing salt and mud into pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. We follow the history of Israel's pioneering achievements by these resilient Jewish people. - Hebron, located about 36 km south of Jerusalem. As a trade center in the region west of the Jordan River, it is a production site for various fruits such as figs and grapes, as well as limestone, pottery, and glass crafts. Hebron, meaning "friend" in Hebrew, is ironically famous as a region of long-standing conflict between Jews and Arabs. In particular, the mosque where Abraham's tomb is located has attracted global attention due to numerous terrorist incidents, both large and small. Bethlehem, known in Christianity as the village where Jesus was born, is a small city located about 10 km from Jerusalem. The Church of the Nativity located there is currently one of the oldest and most influential churches in the world. The most famous city in Israel is, of course, Jerusalem. Conflict is constant because Jews consider it the Promised Land mentioned in the Bible, while Muslims regard it as a holy site second only to Mecca and Medina. At the Wailing Wall, which is said to have been built because Jews gathered in front of the city walls to mourn the destruction of the Temple, one can easily see many people making wishes. There are many places in Jerusalem where one can get a glimpse of Jewish religious life. At a restaurant on Ben Yehuda Street, the entrance is divided into two due to the religious law prohibiting the consumption of meat and dairy products together. One place sells steak-centered meat dishes, while the other sells spaghetti and pizza featuring cheese and dairy products. This scene is commonly seen in Jewish households. Additionally, in Jerusalem, young people dressed in traditional attire are easily spotted; it is a unique sight to see them walking around wearing black hats and long coats even in the middle of summer. One of the things that stands out while traveling in Israel is the kippah worn by men. In the past, it was worn only during worship in sanctuaries like the Temple in Jerusalem, but today, it has become a custom to keep one's head hidden from the sky, so it is worn daily. We experience the lifestyle of the Jewish people, who adhere to their own way of life in the name of religion. ※ World Theme Travel - From Galilee to the Red Sea Parts 2-3 (September 16, 2015)
