Biblical experiences at Kfar Kedem
At Kfar Kedem in Moshav Hoshaya children and adults can transport themselves to biblical and mishnaic times via hands-on experiences while dressed in period clothing. Different activities are offered for all ages and seasons, including a donkey ride through the Galilee hills, milking goats and making cheese, threshing wheat and grinding it into flour to make pita, making wine (more accurately grape juice) when grapes are in season, making oil from olives in the autumn, and shearing sheep and spinning wool. You can also recline on cushions in the Nomad’s Tent and enjoy strong coffee, herbal teas and a pre-ordered meal.
