Kibbutz Kinneret in the South-West of the Kinneret (The Sea of Galilee). Today the Yardenit site, located at the entrance to the Kibbutz on the bank of the Jordan River, is filled every day with Christian pilgrims baptized here, in the place where John the Baptists baptized Jesus. The traditional baptizing location was near Jericho but officially for security reasons, and also for touristic business reasons the State of Israel and the Kinneret Group moved the baptism site north, where the Sea of Galilee pours into the Jordan River.
