Yad Hashmona

Our last night was spent at Yad Hashmona, a Messianic Jewish kibbutz, located in the Judean Hills, about 20 minutes west of Jerusalem.  Over 50 families live here and they have a very comfortable hotel, a restaurant, and a Biblical garden.  Fig, pomegranate, almond, date and olive trees, as well as grape vines, grow throughout the compound.  It is a very peaceful place, and somewhere you'll want to return to again and again.

Dusk comes to Yad Hashmona.  Until we come again...
