PHOTO TOUR: The Druze villages of a Upper Galilee
The Druze encampment in Israel are partners in a struggles and assistance us in safeguarding a tiny nation as they quarrel shoulder to shoulder with us in a Israel Defense Forces. The Druze divided from Islam 1001 years ago in sequence to emanate their singular religion. After a brief window of time a sacrament was radically sealed to outsiders. One is usually deliberate Druze if both a mom and father is from a Druze community.
They live in villages like Bait Jan and Hurfesh in a top Galilee as good as in other regions in northern Israel. These 2 poetic communities are nearby a Meron inlet reserve, high on a Upper Galilee Mountains. The villages offer pleasing view all around with most to see and try between their streets and slight alleys.
In Beit Jan revisit Dr. Dabour caller core where we can hear a story of this singular lab that creates and develops all kinds of creams, ointments, soaps and other healthy cosmetic products that are all formed on a internal botanic treasures of a top galilee mountains. Bait Jan has a prolonged story where sites like an aged residence with a tiny cavern within, binds a glance during their heritage. Explore a past in Ajial cavern that is a vast form in a belligerent that served as a tip church of a initial Christians in a area and after as a H2O source and stealing place for a early villagers.
Not too distant divided is a encampment of Hurfesh. Now is a ideal time to revisit Abu Afif olive oil bureau and caller center. There is most to see and do with activities around a olive oil festival. Most of a tasty Druze dishes are formed in olive oil that creates olives a really critical part for a community. Try out Ibtisam’s where Ibtisam herself will prepare we a homemade normal plate of dishes handed down by a generations. But come inspired as it will be formidable to stop eating and a knowledge will be unforgettable.
In Hurfesh encampment some of a women collected in a special organisation that non-stop a internal elaboration workshop. Here we can learn about women’s standing and roles in a past and present. They offer elaboration workshops. It is always engaging to travel to a core of a Druze villages for a full experience.
