The Prussian blue of the Sea of Galilee hugs the coastline of the sun-baked Tiberias, an ancient-modern city which is also one of Judaism’s four holy cities. Thus, kosher (food and preparation under Jewish law) hotels are an important part of the fabric of Tiberias. Kosher hotels typically follow kosher dietary laws under the Tiberias Rabbinate and some even have synagogues on site. However, there are others who also provide Torah scrolls as well as special meals during Sabbath and other Jewish holidays. For experiencing a real taste of Jewish culture, why not stay at some of the best kosher hotels in Tiberias?
