For readability, I display the pages on top of each other rather than side-by-side (book format). Chapters and sections begin on even pages (left side) with introductory photos. Title pages begin on odd pages (right side).

To see the book layout, reduce the percentage in the title bar below to about 50. Then click the three dots in the title bar (right side) and select “Two page view.”

Nahal Samach Photos

View east: Nahal Samach looking toward the Golan Heights and Ein Keshatot on the edge of the plateau (not pictured; See “Ein Keshatot Synagogue” on page 33).

I tried to hike along the streambed as I climbed toward Ein Keshatot.

Unfortunately, I lost an expensive pair of glasses crossing the stream through the thick brush.

View east: The Kursi Monastery (bottom center) lies in the broad valley at the end of Nahal Samach. Kursi (biblical Gergesa) was the location of the swine miracle (Matt. 8:23–34; see “Gergesa (Kursi)” on page 265).

I encountered this beautiful Sabra cactus with ripening fruit at the start of the day.

View east: I took this photo at about the halfway point between Kursi and Ein Keshatot. I had just picked up the trail, which follows the stream (right-side thicket), crossing it several times back and forth.

View southeast: This photo shows where Nahal Samach and Nahal El Al converge below Ein Keshatot. The ridge above Nahal Samach continues to Ein Keshatot.

View west: This photo shows the climb coming out of Nahal Samach. The road continues to Ein Keshatot on the edge of the Golan Heights, 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometers) farther.

View east: This photo was taken just below the Golan Heights on the ridge between Nahal Samach and Nahal El Al.
