They call this place the sea of miracles. My name is India and today we are going to explore the sea of Galilee. I have to say this is my favorite place in all of Israel. There is so much peace in the air. There is a lot of green and it is nice and quiet. This may be confusing but the sea of Galilee isn't actually a sea. It's a freshwater lake and it is the lowest freshwater lake on earth. When you hear the word sea you might think of a large body of water. But really the sea of Galilee is quite small. In just one glance you can pretty much see the entire lake. Small and size does not mean small insignificance. Water in the Middle East is extremely precious since most of the region is dry. All around you can see farmers growing, bananas, dates and mingos. That's because the water allows the plants around here to thrive. The Sea of Galilee is one of the world's most famous bodies of water. It is where many miracles of Jesus took place. From walking on water to multiplying fish, Christians from all across the world come here to see where it all happened. The Galilee region is also significant to Jews and Muslims. This city called Tiberius right next to the Sea of Galilee is a very holy city to the Jews. And one of the world's oldest mosques can be found here too. But regardless of what your faith or beliefs are, the Sea of Galilee is truly a special place. I did tell you that this sea is called the Sea of Miracles. Well, there is one modern day miracle that will amaze you. For almost 30 years the Sea of Galilee was shrinking at alarming rates. It was heading towards irreversible damage due to drought and overuse. Many Israelis were scared to lose their beloved lake. But in the past couple of years, the Sea of Galilee recovered. Thanks to plenty of rain and the fact that Israel largely reduced the amount of water being pumped from here. Now water levels are so high that some fear that there will even be flooding. This miracle really tells the story of the area. It is the reason people come from all over the world to see the Sea. Because it is a symbol of seeing the impossible become possible. A place where miracles really do happen. This is the Sea of Galilee. This is Inside Israel. Thanks for watching and I'll see you next time.
