Founded by King Janneus around 80 B.C.E., Gamla was a Jewish town of 5,000 farmers. Excavations have revealed fascinating finds, including one of the world’s oldest synagogues
Dear Aviva and Shmuel,
I want to thank you both for starting off our trip to Israel so well. Shmuel’s tour was insightful and thorough, and Aviva’s arrangements were smooth and helpful throughout. We returned to Jerusalem today with our museum hosts to see Yad Vashem and the Israeli Museum. We even found some extra energy to see the tunnels at the Western Wall. I am well aware that all of this is only an introduction to your fascinating country, but it has provided a great beginning. . . Beverly
