Beit Shearim – The Ancient Jewish Necropolis

Hosted By: Volunteers for Israel (VFI)

“Visit” this often-overlooked site, which was chosen by rabbi Yehuda HaNassi – the assembler of the Mishna – to become his gravesite. For centuries later, it was the greatest Jewish cemetery. See caves, menoras and inscriptions, as well as the statue of most famous “Shomer” Alexander Zaid who found the site some 90 years ago.

Volunteers for Israel (VFI)

Volunteers for Israel (VFI) is the only American organization that creates opportunities for civilian volunteers to serve on Israeli Defence Force bases. VFI partners with Israeli military and civilian organizations that enable volunteers to work side-by-side with Israel's soldiers, providing non-combat support to help maintain the readiness of the IDF to defend Israel. VFI enables the IDF to allocate more of its manpower and finances to military tasks, boosts morale within the IDF, and strengthens personal connections to Israel.
