This site on the Golan Heights is a must-visit when touring the area. The name in Hebrew' Ein Kshatot, literally translates to The Arches Spring, where ancient arches were built on the pool surrounding the spring, and recently restored. The main attraction of the site, of course, is the incredible restoration of a 5th-century Jewish synagogue, built by the local community which served also as the focal point of the village. The synagogue was destroyed in 749 when a powerful earthquake hit the northern parts of Israel, then under the Bagdad Caliphate, and left the site in total ruins for over 1250 years. A photo taken in 1905 by a famous British archeologist shows a heap of rubble in the midst of thrown stones nearby. The Israeli antiquities authority, together with the local community and archeologists took the project of restoration 10 years ago, using modern technology, as putting chips in the ancients stones and by 3D imaging and painstaking work over a decade managed to restore the old synagogue into its former glory, less the roof. But what the architects had done was a feat in itself. They have built a beautiful modern visitors' center on the western slope of the ridge below the skyline so it is not seen from the road and blends beautifully with the scenery. From the center, the whole compound can be viewed, and marked trails take you, firstly to the spring and the two restored arches, and from there to the synagogue site itself. Splendid work, worth every minute of very impressive attraction.

We went past and decided to visit. A memorial site for soldiers who had died, we presume whilst conquering the Golan Heights off Syria. Embattled tanks are scattered around and when looking over the border with Syria one can see the fields of mines (marked as dangerous). There was a group of soldiers sat in the amphitheater on site. Beautiful views and landscapes. There are no entry fees / opening hours. It is open 24/7

The Slingshot experience at Tel Saki with Yaakov was AMAZING! I have already recommended it to 5 groups that will be in Israel in 2020. The story of the battle was moving and inspirational, the activity was top notch, and Yaakov is an amazing speaker and Zionist.
