Galil – lecture 2
Where is Galilee mentioned in the Bible? And does the word Galilee refer to the region in the north that we today call Galilee? We will learn about Joshua’s first war to conquer Galilee and ask why the Bible does not mention that Joshua conquered Galilee? While other areas in the country are mentioned? And since the lecture takes place on the eve of Shavuot, we should note that the custom of the Shavuot night correction also began in the Galilee, with a group of Kabbalists in Safed at the beginning of the 16th century.
