Natural History Museum + Biblical Education Center + Zoo = Unique Family Activity (Only in Israel)
This unique new museum combines a love for Biblical History and nature by opening a window into life during Biblical times. Learn about the animals that lived in the time of the Torah and their symbolism in Scripture, Midrash, and Talmud. At the same time gain a deeper understanding of the Land of Israel and how the local flora and fauna played an integral role in our history.
What makes this museum different?
The vivid exhibits are not behind glass. You can walk up close to see a stuffed lion or a Kiwi egg. Being led through the auditorium of exhibits by Rabbi Slifkin is truly a unique experience that you can only have in Israel unless you are lucky enough to go on Safari with him. Children of all ages can hold the animals, so keep an eye on the little ones.
