Still in the southern Golan Heights we came upon the moshav of Geshur, where we visited the new olive oil visitor's center (
http://www.eretz-gshur.co.il/), watched a movie on local production, spoke with a local producer and taste tested at least seven different varieties of olive oil, purchasing several litres upon departure. Though the tour was offered in hebrew, we were able to translate everything to our guests.
Our next stop was a mere five minute drive away, in the moshav of Givat Yoav.There we had a lecture and demonstation at Kol Shofar, the largest shofar factory in the country (
http://www.kolshofar.co.il/). We sat outdoors in the shade as the owner, Shimon Keinan, elaborated on the tradition of the shofar, and the complexities of accurately creating the instrument. Both children and adults had the opportunity to try to create the shofar sounds. Unfortunately we were not allowed to film there because of concern over the publication of any trade secrets regarding shofar production. On the way back to Ramot we stopped by Moshav Nov, known throughout the country as the best place to buy locally raised beef. There we purchased our flavorful steaks for barbeque that evening, and they were so delicious that we returned the next day for an encore.
