Yardenit is located on the beautiful Jordan River, not far from where the river leaves the Sea of Galilee.  Pilgrims, dressed in wite robes, gather here from around the world to be baptised in the holy waters of the Jordan River.  It was in this river that the baptism of Jesus occurred by John the Baptist.

I have to say, entering Yardenit to see hundreds of people walking around in white robes, lines of people coiling around, anxiously awaiting their turn for baptism in the waters of the River Jordan is an experience I cannot put it words. It's awesome, the energy that exists here. You feel pure joy in the air and I'll admit, it brought tears to my eyes to see so many people, so ultimately happy.  Beautiful!
