Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife Sara Netanyahu celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary over the weekend with a visit to the Golan Heights. The couple stayed in Moshav Ramot and visited the Gamla Nature Reserve and the ancient synagogue in Um el Kanatir. "Today we also visited the ancient synagogue of Um el Kanatir, in the southern Golan. I was excited to see how the synagogue is being restored. In its heart is the Torah ark made of the local basalt stone, decorated with the historical symbols of the Jewish people."

Netanyahu wrote on his Facebook page: "One of the first places in our beautiful country that Sara and I toured together was the ancient town of Gamla in the Golan Heights. We were there 27 years ago, before we were married, and today we returned to the place that speaks to our hearts. It's impossible not to fall in love with the place, with the wonderful view, and with our deep historical roots in the land of Israel. A year after our first visit there, we arrived with my parents, of blessed memory, on the occasion of my father's 80th birthday, and looked out to Gamla from above.
