Album Info:

In 1878, Gai Oni, the first modern Jewish agricultural settlement in the Galilee,then part of the Turkish Ottoman Empire, was founded. After enduring three years of drought, the settlers abandoned it. Even so, just a few years later, in 1882, a group of Romanian Jews succeeded in building a lasting Jewish settlement in the Galilee. They named their settlement Rosh Pina, the Hebrew word for "cornerstone,"

  • Well, it seems the Romanian Jews put their heart into the building of this Jewish settlement and made it a real cornerstone! I like the angle in this shot, very beautiful!
