Take a spiritual sojourn into the Holy Land at Rodef Shalom Biblical Botanical Garden in Pittsburgh. The botanical garden, housed on the property of southwestern Pennsylvania's oldest Jewish synagogue, is one of three Biblical gardens in North America. It features more than 100 temperate and tropical plants indigenous to ancient Israel; each plant is accompanied by a Biblical verse. The garden is designed as a replica of the Holy Land and features a small desert and the Jordan River, which gurgles through the garden linking the Sea of Galilee to the Dead Sea. The gardens are open June through September.
