Go to Israel and visit the Druze village of Pek’iin in Israel’s Galilee region. The ancient synagogue dating back to the time of the Talmud is still in use in modern times.

The Galilee area where Pek’iin is located is populated with ancient olive trees. Local industries use olives, the precious oil and gnarled wood to create very special items. Products made from the locally grown ancient olive trees include superb soaps, particularly the handmade olive oil soaps by Savta Gamila which are sold in Harrod’s, in Europe and around the world.
