one of the Jordan's tributaries

Biblical Jordan has many meanings. Abraham crossed the river from east to west to enter God's Promised Land. Jacob wrestled with the angel on the river's eastern bank—and was then named Israel, beginning a new people who would dwell primarily on the western bank while Jacob's brother Esau remained in the east. Joshua also led Israel's entry into the land from the east; the Moabite Ruth joined the community from the same direction. Just by our family holiday resort in the Upper Galilee runs one of the Jordan's tributaries, carrying sparkling cold water from the Heights down into the Sea of Galilee via the Jordan. There is much to seeand much to do in and about the river – we will gladly provide you with information and tips on where, when and what to visit along its route and even give you a ride to the starting point of a hiking trail. Just ask – we are happy to help!
