Join us on a walk-thru of Rabbi Abun’s 2000 year old house in Katzrin in the Golan Heights.

This two-story single family home boasts a large master suite, family room (that doubles as a bedroom for the kids) eat-in kitchen with wood burning stove, and a lovely courtyard for your chickens and goats. Sorry folks, but there are no bathrooms and no running water. And it’s not for sale.

It’s at the Ancient Talmudic Village at Katzrin Park Living Museum.

This is a great, frum-friendly, family vacation attraction if you love archeology but have a hard time imagining what it would be like to live in a home in Israel 2000 years ago.

During “tourist season” there are guides to demonstrate and explain what life was like. We prefer coming here in the winter when the weather is cool and we have the place to ourselves.

They have a great film explaining what life was like for the sages  who lived here in the period of the Mishna.

Call us today or send an email to find out more about your next vacation at Villa Rimona Zimmers in the Galilee, or how you can buy a home in Israel that actually IS for sale.

This is one of the most beautiful places in Israel. The nature reserve is used as a public swimming venue as well as a wonderful place to picnic, play and explore with the whole family.

It’s a challenge for observant families who don’t partake in mixed swimming, so if you want to see this stunning park, I suggest you come when we did. Late in the day on a winter afternoon when it’s a bit too cool for swimming.

Sachne is right next door to the Gan Garoo Australian Zoo, so you can see both places on the same trip.

Another great family activity during your next stay at Villa Rimona Zimmers -  It’s only 30 minutes from Yavne’el.

Purim is a great holiday in Israel. Jerusalem celebrates it on the 15th of Adar (Monday) while the rest of the country celebrates it on Sunday.

All the school kids dress up in their costumes in order to have Purim parties with their schoolmates on Friday, so the holiday effectively becomes  a week-long festival!

In fact the local elementary school here in Yavne’el has been playing Purim music the last two weeks to welcome the children as they arrive at school.

Here are some pics from last year to help get into the mood… HAPPY PURIM to all!

The Galilee is not only about hiking, kayaking, swimming, jeeping and horseback riding.

If you are looking for some culture,  about 10 minutes from Villa Rimona near Tzemach junction you’ll find Beit Gavriel Cultural Center.

There is a large auditorium where live performances and concerts are held. A smaller theater operates as a cinema where recent release feature films are screened. In addition you can browse through three small galleries which display paintings, photography and sculpture.

Since the center is open on Shabbat, it doesn’t have a major hechsher on the coffee shop, but they bring in baked goods and ice cream with good hechsherim.

Outside you can take a quiet stroll on the promenade along the lake with beautiful views of Tiberias and the Golan.
