Shabbat Dinner — Tiberias
Welcome Shabbat with a kibbutz family on the Sea of Galilee.
As Friday evening falls on the Sea of Galilee, welcome Shabbat the way local families do. At Kibbutz Lavi, near Tiberias, you are welcomed with a drink, join the service in the kibbutz synagogue, and then share a traditional Friday-night dinner in the homes of host families.
