"Kfar Nachum or Capernum" Kefar Nahum by Martin_S.

The ancient Jewish fishing village of Capernum (or Kfar Nachum in Hebrew) is, or rather "was" one of the sites where Jesus came to preach his new religion. I found this site: http://198.62.75.1/www1/ofm/sites/TScpmenu.html
where you can learn much more than what I could include here.

We did not visit this time because we did not bring along long pants and shirts.

• Pros:I am told it is a must for religious believers
• Cons:Too many busloads of religious believers crowding in
• In a nutshell:Try to visit out of religious believer season
