    A Message from Us

    A Passover Greeting from the Tamar Regional Council

    As the spring blooms around the ancient shores of the Dead Sea, we at the Tamar Regional Council wish you a joyful and meaningful Passover season.

    Our unique corner of the world—where the desert meets the lowest point on Earth—reminds us daily of the journey from constraint to freedom that Passover celebrates. Like the Israelites who once traversed these lands on their path to liberation, we too embrace the spirit of renewal this holiday brings.

    Whether you’re gathering around the Seder table with loved ones, or simply taking a moment to reflect on your personal journeys, may this season bring you peace and rejuvenation.

    From our breathtaking desert landscapes to the healing waters of the Dead Sea, we send you warmth and light as you celebrate this time of liberation and hope.

    Chag Pesach Sameach from all of us at the Tamar Regional Council!

    About the Tamar Region

    Located approximately 50 km from Jerusalem in the north and Arad in the south THE DEAD SEA is the lowest place on earth and part of the Great Rift. It is the longest geological phenomena, the migration route of millions of birds, the bedrock of civilization and boasts a rare concentration of unique geographical, geological and environmental conditions as well as cultural and religious heritage sites and nature reserves.

    The Tamar Regional Council governs the southern end of the Dead Sea that spans an area of 1.650 km². Over 2,000.000 people from all over the globe visit the Dead Sea annually and the site was recently a serious contender in the Wonders of the World competition. Six independent communities have grown up along the shores of the famous lake, making their daily income from agriculture, tourism and light industry. As families strive to grow and develop in this unique region, with a climate of very little rainfall, 324 days of sunshine and maximum temperatures of 50 degrees centigrade, it is indeed a very challenging way of life.
