Moshav Amirim, a small leap abroad in Israel<\/h1>\n

The new northern roads have brought Amirim within touching distance of central Israel. When you arrive in the Galilee, you will feel the difference: the green landscape everywhere, the clear air, and even the light is different in the Galilee. When you arrive in Amirim, open the window, listen to the birdsong, breathe deeply the clear mountain air, and get intoxicated by the charming view visible from every corner. All this is here in our small country; there’s no need to travel abroad… <\/p>\n

2 Viewpoints overlooking the Kinneret: “Mitzpe Menachem” and “Mitzpe Kinneret” 5 minutes by car from Or Bereshit Zimmer in Amirim North<\/h3>\n

Not far from the Sculpture Garden in Amirim are two viewpoints: Mitzpe Menachem and Mitzpe Kinneret.<\/p>\n

Mitzpe Menachem: <\/strong>At the eastern end of Moshav Amirim, on one of the spurs of Mount Mitzpe Yamim, Mitzpe Menachem was established.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\u05dc\u05d5\u05d2\u05d5<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n\"\u05e0\u05d5\u05e3<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

This viewpoint is named after Captain Menachem Kashtan, an Amirim native who fell in the Yom Kippur War.
\nThe monument is in the shape of a Shahak aircraft whose nose points towards the Kinneret, with parts of it made from Kashtan’s original plane. From here, the Kinneret is clearly visible, as are Nahal Amud and many impressive cliffs. The site has benches and trees that provide shade on hot days. The airplane monument serves as a memorial site for the name and deeds of the late Captain Menachem Kashtan. Address: Ha’Oranim Street at its intersection with Mitzpe Menachem Street, at the upper end of both streets. <\/p>\n

Mitzpe Kinneret: <\/strong>Not far from Mitzpe Menachem is Mitzpe Kinneret. The viewpoint is built as a natural amphitheater. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you look north, you will see the Golan Heights mountains. Directly below us are Kibbutzim Parod and Moran, Havat Ein, and Kamonim. At Mitzpe Kinneret, during July and August, on Friday evenings, “Music at Sunset” performances are held. This performance combines various musical ensembles playing diverse styles of light and airy music, with flute, harmonica, and guitar. Admission to the performance is free, and seating is on the lawns with a view of the spectacular scenery. Due to the weather tending to be cool at sunset, it is recommended to bring some warm clothing.
