Near Kibbutz Ein HaNtziv in the Beit Shan valley lies one of the most beautiful and most visited springs. The turquoise water, the legendary tarzan and the successful location brought the place to its greatness. Its original name is generally Ein Yehuda, but by the people it is called Ein HaNtziv.
“Lord of the world, what have you done to this spring”
More than two years ago, sad pictures were shared of the area of the spring that looked dry, with no memory of the beautiful pictures and the clear water that were in the spring, but not long ago, surfers were upset about them, including Yair Agmon, who published painful posts about the desolation that prevails in the place: “We used to hitchhike from Yeshiva at Ma’ale Gilboa, to this spring Our heavenly Father, tell me you are crazy, you are full of mercy! What have you done to this spring, Lord of the world?
