Celebrate Itamar's deep roots in the Land

Enjoy the view of the famous mountain the Sartaba which stands out like a pyramid seen from Itamar.

The Sartaba was the second relay station where torches were lit starting with Mt. Olives in Jerusalem to signal the Jews in Babylonia that the new moon was declared in Jerusalem. It was built by the famous Alexander Yanai, about 150 years before the destruction of the second Temple, as a Chashmoaim fortress.

It is customary that on Lag Baomer youth groups come and light torches on this mountain peak.
