Nevatim, an agricultural settlement near the city of Beer-Sheba (capital of the Neghev area) was settled in 1954 by jews from Cochin, India. It boasts a Cochin Heritage Center composed of a compact, amazing museum and a stunning synagogue, both definitely worth a visit. 1. the museum. We were presented with a 16- minutes documentary on the history and customs of the Cochin jewish community and its immigration to Israel. On the walls at the entrance, and in the movie room - black and white pictures depicting life in India and the transition from trade there to agriculture. here. Next, we were led through rooms with a rich variety of encased exhibits from daily life in Cochin: clothing, jewelery items, household ware, religious lamps, Torah case. 2. the synagogue Plain looking outside, stunning inside. The interior is breathtaking. Never have I seen such richness of details and color, lights, pillars, fine furniyture and ornaments. The central part of the synagogue is taken up with the Holy Arc (the wooden closet which contains the Torah scrolls) and in front of it - the bima (the podium for Torah readings). There's a second bima upstairs, on the ladies' floor.

Very cool archaeological park, at one time this was thought to be the site of Biblical Be'er Sheva, but today scholars tend to believe that it is a city that was called Sheva. The walls, homes, storage wearhouses and water reserve system have been excavated and are open to the public.The site is administered by Israel national parks Association and costs about $5 entry fee. Has clean restrooms.

Tel Arad is one of Israel’s most important archaeological sites. A fortified Canaanite city and fortresses from the time of the kings of Judah have been unearthed at the site. The remains of a unique Judean temple and an extraordinary water plant from the times of the Judean kings were discovered in the fortresses. The national park offers campgrounds, a cafeteria and the opportunity to hold events there. A tour of Tel Arad takes between one to two hours.

Layers of history on one Tel. Beautifully presented with good facilities.Less than 2 hours drive from Jerusalem and not far from the town of Arad, that's also worth a visit.
