Jerusalem does have several pubs and discos
scattered through the city center.
For a listing of cultural events such as con-
certs and dance performances, check Friday's
Jerusalem Post or pick up a free copy of What's
Happening in Jerusalem in your hotel lobby.
NATURE: Like most big cities, Jerusalem
has too many cars and too little wildlife. For a
glimpse of nature in all its splendor, take a day
trip (rent a car or join an organized tour) to
Masada and the Dead Sea, and then hike
through the Ein Geidi oasis. For a real pam-
pering, try an overnight stay at a Dead Sea ho-
tel/spa, and ask for a massage and a mud
treatment. These services usually cost extra,
so get a price list before indulging.
Many Jerusalem tour operators offer half-
day visits to the Cave of Absalom, where min-
eral deposits have created a magnificent
stalactite cave. Or join an organized Jeep trek
through the awesome Judean hills, situated
just outside Jerusalem.
TIBERIAS
Founded in the year 18 C.E., Tiberias is a
fascinating blend of the ancient and modern.
Named after the Roman Emperor Tiberias, it
became the center of Jewish life after the Ro-
mans destroyed Jerusalem. One of the four
Holy Cities, it is known as the place where the
Mishnah was codified and the Talmud was
edited.
Located on Lake Kinneret (the Sea of
Galilee), the city is a popular year-round re-
sort, catering to both Israelis and foreign vis-
itors. It's also the perfect launching point for
day trips to the beautiful city of Safed, the birth-
place of Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism), where
hundreds of artists have set up shop.
HISTORY: Although an earthquake in 1837
destroyed most of the Old City, there are still
a few ancient walls standing alongside mod-
ern structures in the town center.
Those wishing to pay respect to some of Ju-
daism's greatest sages can visit the Tombs of
the Rabbis. Maimonides' Tomb is located off
Yohanan Ben-Zakai Street Nearby is the tomb
of Rabbi Ben-Zakai, the founder of the Yavne
Academy. The tomb of Rabbi Meir, known as
the "miracle worker," is located on the hills
above the hot springs, while Rabbi Akiva's is
buried west of the town.
Take an hour or two to visit Hammat, the
remains of an ancient city built about 2,000
years ago. The reconstructed Synagogue of
Hammat, dating to 300 C.E., has an out-
standing mosaic floor.
