Ein Nashot is an archaeological site in the Golan Heights featuring the remains of an ancient synagogue set on a hilltop. The ruins display decorated columns and stone seating areas that reveal the construction methods of its builders.

The synagogue was built during the late ancient period and served the local community for several centuries. Western scholars began documenting the remains scientifically in the 1800s, marking the start of its modern study.

The synagogue served as a religious gathering place for the local Jewish community in ancient times. Visitors can observe the spatial layout and decorated columns that reflect the craftsmanship of that era.

The site is located in the central Golan Heights and can be reached via walking trails or access paths from nearby areas. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes and be prepared for uneven terrain and exposure to the elements.

Coins were discovered beneath the synagogue floor, providing clues about when it was built. These findings make the site an important witness to economic activity in the region during that time.
