Day 2 - Tiberias: A Tale of Romans, Rabbis and Renewal

I learnt so much from this short historical vignette of Tiberias. For example, I had no idea that the pronounciation (sorry, this is the way, we South Africans spell that word) of Hebrew as we know it today was introduced in Tiberias.

It is another reminder that there is always something new to learn about Israel and its history. Knowing more about the places you visit makes the visit more meaningful.

Rav Mendel Weinbach, Rosh Yeshiva of Ohr Somayach, has been writing a column for years, called Love of the Land, with short pieces on familiar and unfamiliar places in Israel.
