Tombs of the Righteous in the Galilee Mountains in the North
In the north, there are many landscapes, spectacular natural phenomena, wildlife, and plenty of pastoral atmosphere, but alongside all this, there are also many Tombs of the Righteous that add a mystical dimension, add meaning to the trip, create interest, and attract many travelers—some for reasons of respect and faith and others out of curiosity. The Tombs of the Righteous constitute an important pilgrimage focus, as they are also usually located in charming hidden corners.
Rabbi Shimon ben Menasya, Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish, Rabbi Shimon Shezuri, Nahum Ish Gamzu, and many other tombs are scattered throughout the northern region—so that one can integrate Tombs of the Righteous as an essential part of the trip or alternatively just as a short excursion on the way to another attraction that only the Amirim area and the north know how to offer.
