About My Town - Rosh Pina - Israel

Rosh Pina is found north of the Sea of Galilee , on the eastern slants of Mount Kna'an, roughly 2 km (1 mi) east of the city of Safed , 420 m (1,378 ft) above ocean level, scope north 32° 58', longitude east 35° 31'.

Rosh Pinna is a town (neighborhood committee) of roughly 2,500 people.in 1883, Rosh Pina turned into the main Jewish settlement in the Land of Israel to go under the support of the Baron Edmond de Rothschild, who encouraged the town, manufactured a silk processing plant, a synagogue (today, reestablished and open for Shabbat and Chagim), workplaces, horse stables, a French-styled stop (likewise wonderfully reestablished); and a school was opened, the first in Israel to show youngsters in Hebrew!

Visit guide and neighborhood occupant Akiva Oren likes to utilize Rosh Pina as a base for treks to close-by and better-known territories including Safed (Tzfat); Tiberias; Korazim National Park on the Sea of Galilee; Tel Hatzor National Park on the remnants of the scriptural King Solomon's mid year royal residence; and the Hula Lake, which is a well known spot for fowl watchers.

Oren likes to utilize Rosh Pina as a beginning stage for voyages through different spots in the Galilee, including Safed, Tiberias and the Hula Lake, a noteworthy fascination for moving winged creatures and the general population who appreciate watching them.

Additionally in the focal point of old Rosh Pina is the synagogue, the second current Hebrew school worked in Israel, and the place of Dr. Mer, who investigated Malaria in the Hula Valley amid the 1930s.
