Beit Alfa is a kibbutz founded in 1922, situated adjacent to the famous Beth Alpha synagogue. The kibbutz provides a living example of Israel's early communal settlement movement, with well-tended gardens, agricultural fields, and a relaxed atmosphere. Visitors can explore the kibbutz grounds, see the original dining hall and housing, and learn about the history of the community through a small museum. The kibbutz also offers guest accommodations and a chance to interact with residents, making it a peaceful stop for those interested in modern Israeli history alongside ancient sites.
