Experience an enjoyable and meaningful connection with Israel in your synagogue group tour. When looking for things to do in northern Israel, the variety is wide, from hiking the Land to discovering local industries, religious sites, history, and culture.
Katzrin Village dates back to 4 CE. It was a bustling town of the Talmudic era and is now a living history site. Come face-to-face with Jewish history at Katzrin VIllage. Discover and hear the story of the Katzrin Village Synagogue, with its ancient mosaic flooring, impressive entryway, and beautiful carved embellishments. You can pray within its walls, letting your prayers ascend and mingle with the echoes of the prayers of our people from centuries past.
In addition, we offer a range of various educational and engaging activities, which provide hands-on learning to experience the life and customs of the village inhabitants.

Springtime – Enjoy and appreciate ancient culture surrounding the annual wheat harvest by participating in an authentic wheat harvest. Cut, gather, and winnow the sheaves until golden kernels are revealed. Then enjoy a warm, tasty treat of whole wheat kernels cooked in a skillet and drizzled with honey for an original granola treat.
Late Summer – Early Autumn – Following the grape harvest, is winemaking time. Learn all about the fermentation process as you join us in crushing grapes at the old grape press, and receive a bottle of grape juice at the end. Moreover, an informative workshop at the nearby Golani Winery and Distillery would be the perfect complement to our winemaking activity.
Autumn – Early Winter – The olive oil industry was a primary industry in Talmudic times. Participate in the olive oil experience using the oldest functioning olive press in Israel! The process is fascinating and afterwards you’ll receive a small bottle of authentic olive oil.
Once you have your olive oil, you can proceed to bake you own pita. Roll out the dough and place over an open fire. Afterwards break off some fresh, warm bread and savor it dipped in olive oil and fragrant hyssop seasoning.
Year-round activities include an engaging tour of Katzrin Village. On tour, you will pay a visit to an ancient Israeli home, where you will listen to accounts of life, love, and community of the time.
Dress up in traditional attire to blend in with the scenery! This is always a fun experience and the perfect opportunity for a photo!
Build with cob, and ancient building material, which was vital in construction. Learn what it was used for and how people utilize it till this day. Build an oven or sculpt it into something small as a keepsake to take home.
The evening Lantern Tour at the Katzrin Village is magnificent and highly recommended. Embark amid a beautiful, pastoral setting, with a star-studded sky above. You will be accompanied by a guide and a musician playing soft music to enhance the atmosphere. Following stops and stories at various stations, you will end the tour with warm, comforting tea and delicious, local cookies.
We also offer music tours comprising a delightful tour with a talented local musician who will guide you down the streets of the village and introduce participants to the ancient Industries of the times.
