Bus tour: Noah didn’t whine, so don’t whine either!

📖 In the third week of October, synagogues read the portion “Noah”—the very story of the Flood, the enormous ark, and the animals Noah gathered “two by two.” It’s hard to imagine a better reason to visit the Bible Lands Museum of Natural History! 🦁🦎

🏛️ We’ll head to an unusual museum near Beit Shemesh, where the Tanakh meets zoology. We’ll see animals, birds, reptiles, and insects mentioned in biblical texts; learn which animals lived in ancient Israel and whom the Tanakh may have meant specifically. Some of the museum’s inhabitants (the living ones!) can even be held. 🐍

🚢 We’ll also visit the “Art of the Ark” exhibition and see an entire collection of Noah’s Ark models from different countries around the world.

🥾 After the museum, we’ll go for a walk in Hurvat Midras—an archaeological site in the Judean Lowlands. Ancient caves await us here (those who wish can climb inside!), along with underground passages and traces of a settlement that existed here many centuries ago.

🍷 At the end of the program, we’ll stop at a charming place to relax and drink some delicious wine. And this is strictly on topic too—after the Flood, Noah planted a vineyard.

🌊 In short, Noah didn’t whine—and neither should you. Let’s pair up and go! 🦒🦒
