GINNOSAR
GINNOSAR (גִּנּוֹסַר), kibbutz on the shore of Lake Kinneret, Israel, founded by Israel-born youth and Youth Aliyah graduates of ben shemen . The kibbutz was set up at the time of the Arab riots early in 1937, serving initially as a guard outpost on palestine jewish colonization association (PICA) lands. In spite of PICA's opposition, the settlement became permanent. Before 1948, in the pre-State period, Ginnosar served as a training and organizational center of the Palmaḥ . It developed subtropical intensive farming (bananas, avocado, mango, and litchi), field crops, dairy cattle, and fishery. In addition, the kibbutz operated a banana plant nursery and also opened a large guesthouse and restaurant. Yigal Allon House, a memorial museum, is located inside the kibbutz. It features the so-called "Jesus boat," constructed in around 40 B.C.E. and salvaged from Lake Tiberiasin 1986. In 2002 the population of Ginnosar was 483. -BIBLIOGRAPHY: www.ginosar.net/history.html . (Efraim Orni / Shaked Gilboa (2nd ed.)
