Exploring Jordan's Healing Hot Springs with Yitzhak Carmeli
Discover why the tribes of Gad and Reuben, known for their sheep and cattle herding, chose to settle in Jordan. The eastern bank of the Jordan is blessed not just with water, but with warm, healing springs. Join Yitzhak Carmeli, researcher of Jewish diaspora communities, as he explores these natural phenomena.
A Journey from Parshat Vayechi:
"Gad, a troop shall troop on him"—this poetic phrase posed a challenge to biblical commentators, each providing their own interpretation. Ramban mentions here, "that it is an extensive and greatly large land, located beyond the Jordan."
The tribes of Gad and Reuben, who were shepherds and cattle owners, did not randomly choose their inheritance across the Jordan. This region is blessed not only with water but with warm springs known for their healing properties.
Join us to explore the hot springs of East Jordan.
