Dalton, Israel

On the grounds of the moshav is a tomb ascribed to 2nd century rabbinic sages Jose the Galilean and his son rabbi Yishmael.

[1] Dalton is mentioned in medieval literature and documents discovered in the Cairo Geniza, indicating it was home to a Jewish community during the Middle Ages.

[5] Among the findings found at the site is a marble column inscribed with Hebrew and Aramaic blessings, though only the ends of the lines remain.

During the Middle Ages, Dalata, as well as the nearby villages of Alma and Baram, were a destination for Jewish pilgrims and was populated with Jews.

[10] Near the pond in Dalton is a long depression surrounded by hard basalt rocks which appears to be from a secondary explosion of the type found on the slopes of a volcanic mountain.

Sometimes volcanic ash expelled in eruptions covers an area with standing water, creating secondary explosions and flows.

In addition to wine tourism, the Ramat Dalton area supports agritourism, featuring numerous guesthouses (tzimmers) for accommodation.
