Galilee (Hebrew:
הגליל
HaGalil
, lit:
the province
, Ancient Greek: Γαλιλαία, Latin:
Galilaea
, Arabic:
الجليل
al-Jalīl
) is a large region in northern Israel which overlaps with much of the administrative North District and Haifa District of the country. Traditionally divided into Upper Galilee (Hebrew:
גליל עליון
Galil Elyon
), Lower Galilee (Hebrew:
גליל תחתון
Galil Tahton
), and Western Galilee (Hebrew:
גליל מערבי
Galil Ma'aravi
), extending from Dan to the north, at the base of Mount Hermon, along Mount Lebanon to the ridges of Mount Carmel and Mount Gilboa north of Jenin and Tulkarm to the south, and from the Jordan Rift Valley to the east across the plains of the Jezreel Valley and Acre to the shores of the Mediterranean Sea and the Coastal Plain in the west. Ranges of hills with high peaks, one river, many streams, dozens of brooks, primal landscapes, evergreen forests, dense natural groves, valleys, lakes, few residents and many hikers and tourists are what make the Galilee so special. The Galilee is a mountainous region in Israel’s north, and is divided into two main parts - the Upper Galilee to the north and the Lower Galilee to the south. The highest peak in the Upper Galilee is
Mt. Meron
, which rises 1,208 meters above sea level, while the highest point in the Lower Galilee is the summit of Mt. Kamon, at 602 meters above sea level. Thanks to the abundant water and the fertile soil in the Galilee’s valleys, this region has been relatively densely populated since ancient times and today has the largest variety of ethnic communities in Israel. There are
Druze
villages (Beit Jan,
Peki’in
) and
Circassian
(Reikhaniya,
Kfar Kama
) who preserve their ancient traditions; there are Arab villages with Muslim majorities (Kafr Yasif) or Christian majorities (Fasuta), or some with an equal balance (Ma’alot Tarkhisha). The Galilee is one of Israel’s main tourism centers, with dozens of different types of sites. For example, there are national antiquities parks (including Bar’am,
Tsipori (Zippori)
,
Beit She’arim
,
Monfort
and
Kohav Hayarden
); moshava farming communities from the early days of the modern settlement of Israel, which tell the story of Zionism (
Metula
, Yesud Ha-Ma’ala,
Rosh Pina
); beautiful nature reserves (
Hul Lake
, Mt. Meron, Bar’am Forest, Nahal Kziv and many more); Jewish holy sites, such as the graves of the sages and ancient synagogues (in
Safed (Tsfat)
and
Tiberias
); and Christian holy sites that are visited by many pilgrims during their tour of the Holy Land (
Nazareth
,
Kfar Nahum (Capernaum)
, the Jordan River and
Lake Kineret
).The large concentration of sites, the natural beauty and the breathtaking landscapes are what make the Galilee so unique. It has even been nicknamed the Israeli Tuscany or Provence. Either way, the Galilee is a fascinating area that offers dozens of touring and entertainment options. The Jewish National Fund (Hebrew:
קרן קימת לישראל
,
Keren Kayemet LeYisrael
) (abbreviated as JNF, and sometimes KKL) was founded in 1901 to buy and develop land in Ottoman Palestine (later British Mandate for Palestine, and subsequently Israel and the Palestinian territories) for Jewish settlement. The JNF is a quasi-governmental, non-profit organization.By 2007, it owned 13% of the total land in Israel. Since its inception, the JNF has planted over 240 million trees in Israel. It has also built 180 dams and reservoirs, developed 250,000 acres (1,000 km
2
) of land and established more than 1,000 parks.In 2002, the JNF was awarded the Israel Prize for lifetime achievement and special contribution to society and the State of Israel.
