The gate of Eden: In Israel’s Valley of Springs, ancient history offers a new journey of healing

A family travel feature explores the Valley of Springs (Emek Hama'ayanot) in northern Israel, focusing on Kama Resort near Beit She'an. The resort, founded by physicist-turned-filmmaker Khen Shalem, features 23 Quonset-hut-style suites with no televisions, designed to encourage outdoor engagement. Activities include goat herding at Havat Nokdey Ruppin farm, visiting Roman ruins at Beit She'an National Park, and learning about rewilding efforts by the Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel.
