||Once upon a time there was a Jewish kingdom hidden away behind the Mountains of Darkness. Established by the Ten Lost Tribes, it was protected by the Sambatyon, the river which flung rocks up into the sky, stoning anyone who tried to cross on weekdays. On the seventh day the waves subsided: if any stranger took advantage of the lull to sneak across to the other bank, he was arrested at once and indicted for transgressing laws of Shabbat. That is why no one ever returned alive from that kingdom.|| ~ Elie Wiesel, A Beggar in Jerusalem
WIKIPEDIA: According to the Bible, Galilee was named by the Israelites and was the tribal region of Naphthali and Dan, at times overlapping the Tribe of Asher's land.
