Description: Our first stop on our way to the Dead Sea will be in the Museum of the Good Samaritan. The Museum of the Good Samaritan is named after the parable of the Good Samaritan, which is a well-known story from the Bible. The parable appears in the Gospel of Luke, and it tells the story of a man who was traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho and was attacked by robbers. The man was left wounded and lying by the side of the road, and several people passed by without helping him. Finally, a Samaritan, who was considered an outsider by the people of Jerusalem, stopped to help the wounded man. The Samaritan treated his wounds, took him to an inn, and paid for his lodging until he was well. The parable of the Good Samaritan is often used to illustrate the importance of showing compassion and helping those in need, regardless of their background or social status. The Museum of the Good Samaritan, which is located in the town of Ma'ale Adumim in Israel, displays archaeological artifacts related to the parable and its historical context. The museum aims to promote the values of kindness, compassion, and helping others, which are at the heart of the story of the Good Samaritan. In this place there have been extended archaeological excavations over the last one hundred years, and a substantial number of antique mosaics have been found and are in exhibition there. The place is worth the visit. Entrance costs 22 NIS (USD 6.04 at the time of this writing) and it is open Sat-Thu 8:00-17:00 (16:00 on Fridays) in the summer, closing 1 hour earlier than this in the winter.
