Capernaum - The town of Jesus

Israel video tour with David Hyman, professional tour guide. The Galilee town of Capernaum is the town mentioned most times in the New Testament after Jerusalem. Capernaum is the mispronunciation of the Hebrew name Kfar (village) of Nachum. The town was one of the Judean fishing towns along the northern shore of the lake, that thrived during the first century CE, and the main income was from fishing, farming, and possibly trade as the town was a border town on the ancient highway leading north to Damascus. The Gospels tell us the Jesus left Nazareth and settled in Capernaum for about three years, in which the town became the base of Jesus's ministry in Galilee. This is where Jesus performed many of the miracles of healing and exorcism, from here Jesus went on his journies to Banias, Kursi, Sidon, and the Mount of Beatitudes. From here Jesus boarded the boat to preach from the sea and it is here where Jesus recruited his first four disciples, all fishermen from this region. Our tour will take us to the highlights of Capernaum, which were excavated and restored by the Franciscan fryers. First, we will visit the White Synagogue dating to the 4th century AD and the display f the engraved stone items. Then we will observe the ruins of Jesus's room in Saint Peter's home and the modern church that was built above them. We will end with a relaxing and meditative stroll along the waters of Lake Kineret - The Sea of Galilee.
