This is a unique attraction just outside Jerusalem. Learn about ancient agricultural customs and how they relate to Judaism. They have two different tour options: 
  1. Learn about ancient agricultural customs and methods. Learn to live like our ancestors did in Israel.
  2. Learn how these ancient agricultural customs performed in the Mishkan relate to Shabbat. 
Both tours are "Hands On".  For example learn to plow, thresh, dye material, sift, knead, winnow, bake pitot in a taboon, sheer a sheep and more. 

The activity ends with a 30 minute movie about Shabbat seen inside a cave (Hebrew or English).

Additional Kids Activities: Ride a children's train, mechanical camel ride, tractors, donkey cart rides and see a model of the mishkan
Optional: We can arrange for you to have a BBQ or food at the farm
