A Living history Site In Katzrin Village

Katzrin Village is where ancient Jewish history comes to life. Friendly characters in Talmudic garb greet you along the street; the local musician may even accompany you in song. It’s a place where you live the culture of the time, by taking part in activities such as our traditional wheat harvest or being hosted in an ancient home.

A Sensory Experience

Not only does this living history site provide you with a taste of history and culture, but it’s an experience that activates the senses!

Dress up in traditional clothing with your friends and family, visit the ancient olive press and have a go at making olive oil the classical way. Make and bake your own delicious pita; step inside the Village Bakery and order our picnic in a basket; soak in the architectural beauty of the ancient synagogue and join the fun by participating in grape crushing and winemaking at the old-fashioned wine press.

Feel the grapes burst beneath your feet as they release their sticky juice.
Smell the aroma of handmade pita baking over a fire.
Taste the flavourful olive oil and aromatic hyssop spice.
View the wonders of ancient country-living among golden wheat fields and picturesque landscapes.

Absorb the sounds of music, enhancing the atmosphere of your visit.

Use your hands to make and shape when building with cob, and stimulate your mind with stories and lessons from times gone by.

From Theory to Practice

Cob was and still is a significant building technique, however, on your visit to the ancient Israeli home, you can really soak in the experience making and working with this vital material.

Or lend a hand in the olive oil experience, where you can operate a 1,600 year old press yourself, the oldest functioning olive press in the country!
