Galilee

Pictures by QT Luong

Galilee is Israel's lushest region and has the country's richest religious heritage. Besides being the land where Jesus did most of his teaching, it is also where Jewish scholars produced the classical rabbinical texts. The town of Safed (there are several alternative spellings), where Kabbalism was expended, is at the center of Jewish mysticism. The highest town in the country, it has old quarters of quaint streets and alleys full of synagogues and artists.
