Hi,
Today we been to Kibbutz Dan. As I wrote to you the enemy is listening, but I do think they will not gain much from this post.
The Kibbutz was founded as part of wall and tower on 1939, named after the nerby archiological site Tel Dan. The place set the border of Israel in this location, and suffered heavy attacks from syria.

Paz gate, which was part of the settlement design of the architect Richard Kauffmann: A olive tree boulevard that stretched from the gate to Ussishkin house.
The bakery was founded on 1940, when the road to bring supplies was through Arab villages. The brick oven is now used for a coffeehouse
The laundry building built on 1952. The Kibbutz members throw the laundry through small windows on the front and got their clothes clean the same day

Ussishkin house – history and nature museum named after Menachem Ussishkin. A note from October 7th, announcing the museum will be closed due to the circumstances (it had been closed since then).
