2000 Year Old Rabbi’s House

Rabbi Abun’s 2000 year old house in Katzrin.

As Iran conspires with Hezbollah and Syria to confront Israel on the Golan Heights, we thought you would like to see what the Jewish people were doing in that area 2000 years ago.

This two-story single family home boasts a large master suite, family room (that doubles as a bedroom for the kids) eat-in kitchen with wood burning stove, and a lovely courtyard for your chickens and goats. Sorry folks, but there are no bathrooms and no running water. And it’s not for sale.

It’s at the Ancient Talmudic Village at Katzrin National Park & Living Museum.

This is a great family attraction if you love archeology but have a hard time imagining what it would be like to live in a home in Israel 2000 years ago.

During “tourist season” there are guides to demonstrate and explain what life was like. We prefer coming here in the winter when the weather is cool and we have the place to ourselves.

They have a great film explaining what life was like for the sages  who lived here in the period of the Mishna.
