The Archaeological Background

Korazim is a Roman and Byzantine period site located above the northern bank of the Sea of Galilee. It figures prominently in the New Testament and in the Talmud as a Jewish town.

Our community project was directed by Achia Cohen-Tavor.

For the moment, get more information from the Wikipedia entry.
