Susya

At this ancient mountain village on the edge of the desert you will see remains of a Jewish community that flourished some 1,500 years ago.

The centerpiece is the synagogue, with its intricately designed and colorful mosaic floors and Torah shrine.

You will walk the paths between ancient walls to a dwelling, olive-oil press and water cisterns.

In one ancient cave you can enjoy a fascinating audiovisual presentation that breathes life into the stones.
