Which Less Traveled Sites Should We Visit in Israel?

Question:
Humans say...

See if you can find a kibbutz along the Jordan River that hosts visitors. Really quiet and you can visit sights along the Jordan using it as your base.
Petra in the Kingdom of Jordan is worth going, being just next-door to Israel.
Last I heard you *must* go through Eilat (southern tip of Israel) to get to Jordan, so that is also worth a stop and do some snorkelling, if the temperature allows.
Orthodox Christmas is smack dab in the middle of your trip. Visit Bethlehem (and churches in Jerusalem general) for the experience, or avoid the crowds, depending on your religious affiliation! You'll need to go pass Palestine checkpoints if you are going into Palestine areas such as Bethlehem.

Hey everyone!
My boyfriend and I are travelling through Israel this Jan 1-16th and are looking for recommendations! We're arriving/departing from Tel Aviv and looking to go to the Golan Heights, Jerusalem, the Dead Sea/Ein Gedi etc, and any exciting less traveled sites would be great too!
Also any tips on what city is best to travel through to get into Jordan, to see Petra and Wadi Rum, with any tips on reputable tour guides would be greatly appreciated. So we'd love any suggestions and advice for places to go, activities or accommodations along the way.
Thanks in advance!
