Moshe Novomeysky Visitor Center
Near Highway 90 in the south of the Dead Sea on your way to a perfect vacation in the Dead Sea, Judean Desert or Eilat, you’ll encounter a fascinating story about the vision, determination, and entrepreneurship of a Zionist pioneer with a dream to develop industry in the Land of Israel. A story that is not recounted enough as it constitutes a central part of the Zionist ethos and the renewal of the Jewish home in the Land of Israel. The visitor center preserves and restores the Palestine Potash Company, which was active from 1934 until the early 1950s, and the worker’s camps of the company plants. You’ll see up close the way of working and living in this isolated part of the country, and the vision and determination of people who not only dreamed, but also executed their plans despite the difficulties. The visitor center tour is led by a guide. During the tour, you’ll pass through several of the camp’s structures, which have been restored, adapted, and made accessible to those with limited mobility. You’ll start in the Dead Sea model hall, an innovative and spectacular model that illustrates the formation of the Dead Sea rift and the many unique features which have attracted people to its shores over the millennia. You’ll then continue on to the dining hall of the worker’s camp. The structure has been restored and here you’ll meet Moshe Novomeysky, a mining engineer born in Siberia who first arrived on the Dead Sea’s shores in 1911, and founded the Palestine Potash Company in 1929. Later on, with the help of virtual reality glasses, you’ll be able to enter into the worker’s camp when it was most crowded and truly feel immersed in the history of the place and the worker’s daily lives. You’ll learn about the staff’s heroic struggle during the War of Independence, and the camp’s continuation after the war. The tour will conclude with explaining the importance of Dead Sea mineral extraction, highlighting the activity of current Dead Sea plants and the fine line between environmental conservation and economic development. The visitor center is accessible to those with limited mobility.

Life Paintings
Suzette Razon, artist and teacher for over 30 years, has developed a method of “life paintings,” which allow participants to better understand and feel themselves through drawing. With this method, Suzette guides people on how to approach painting and drawing from a variety of angles, just like life, which can observed from many directions. The activity can be done through uninhibited drawing with crayons, and without really understanding how to draw at all. A short, spontaneous drawing with no planning at all. However, it comes with the attitude of a young child who is happy with any result. Suzette’s goal is to bring out your creativity and discover shapes and colors through a fun and relaxing painting experience. Personal or group meetings in Mount Amasa in the forest or in the desert in order to easily draw and derive inspiration and creativity. You can also purchase instructional videos for painting at home in your free timehttps://suzeta.co.il/life-paintings/ See you in the pictures, Suzette Razon
