These powers have been rec-
ognized for thousands of years.
In the first century of the Corn-
mon, Era, - at the time of Rabbi
Akiva, Orthodox Jews were per-
mitted to bathe here, even on the
Sabbath.
The original baths they used,
built by Herod, no longer exist;
the surviving pool, known as the
Lion's Pool, was constructed in
the 18th century by the Turkish
sultan, Ibrahim Pasha. Parallel
to it is the Tiberias Care and
Health Center, built in the 1950s
and providing the hundreds of
daily visitors thermal clips, mas-
sages and mud-pack treatments.
The water temperature here is a
steady 140 degrees, and the wa-
ter contains 12 different mineral
salts.
A newer center, built in 1978,
is directly on Lake Kinneret. It is
state-of-the-art, with indoor and
outdoor mineral pools, hy-
drothermal treatments, elec-
trotherapy and, particularly for
rheumatism patients, a variety
of physiotherapeutic treatments.
Both the old and the new centers
are a short walk or bus ride from
downtown Tiberias.

The water has a
year-round
temperature of 107
degrees.

Worthy of note, also, is the
Young Tiberias Hot Springs, a so-
phisticated recreational and ther-
apeutic center for the
30-somethings. It features indoor
and outdoor swimming pools, a
physiotherapy wing and a good
fish restaurant overlooking Kin-
neret.
A splendid hotel-with-a-view
is the deluxe Galei Kinnereth, an
establishment in the grand and
stately style of Jerusalem's King
David. Visitors to Tiberias who
are on a budget and who may
spend their nights at a less cost-
ly hotel, kibbutz, bungalow or
campsite, can still splurge for an
afternoon of high tea on the
beachfront deck of the Galei, nib-
bling a cake and contemplating
the tranquil waters.
One such accommodation,
somewhat less elegant than the
Galei and not quite so expensive,
is Kibbutz Nof Ginosar, also on
the lake. It is unofficially rated
four-star, grows and serves its
own bananas, grapefruit, man-
gos and avocados, and provides
its guests virtually all the ameni-
ties of a first-class resort in the
Catskills.
Meals in the kosher dining
room are more-than-ample, with
a serve-yourself dairy buffet and
sit-down meat and fish sections.
Breakfasts are Brobdingnagian,
as you might expect — so what
else is new in Israel? O
