Israel, Help with itinerary for first time trip 2-3 weeks in May

Here are my ideas. At first I thought I would keep the car and drive Haifa to Tel Aviv via Caesaria but it seems difficult to avoid rush hour traffic between Haifa and Tel Aviv and that maybe it would be easier to take day tours out of Tel Aviv and Nazereth.

Thank you!

6-7 days in Israel

Day tour to Masada and the Dead Sea and return to Jerusalem for the night.
Then rent a car and see Belvoir, Beit She'an, and Beit Alpha on the way to Amirim. Is that a good location for the Galilee, Hula Valley and Northern Israel?
Stay is Amirim or near by for 3-4 nights
Day1 Drive around the Sea of Galilee, Ginosar, Mt of Beatitudes, Taghba, Capernaum.
Day 2 Agamon, Tel Dan,Nimrod Castle ( this may be too much for one day)
Day 3 The Golan Heights including Ein Keshtot
Day 4 Safed, Zippori with a car. Return the car in Nazereth and stay the night in Nazereth
Day 7 Nazareth --Perhaps a day tour (I found one from Nazereth which includes Haifa, Acre and Rosh Hanikra)
Day 7 - Take a train or bus to Tel Aviv for 2-3 days with a tour or bus to Caesaria.

I don't quite understand. You say you will be going for 2-3 weeks. But you only give an itinerary for 6-7 days.
How many days are you going to be in Jerusalem? You don't need or want a car while there. Make sure that when you go to Safed that it isn't between Friday late afternoon and Saturday until sundown, as most thing will be closed for shabbat.
I would also suggest you put your questions about your itinerary on the Trip Advisor Israel forum. They have experts there who will be really helpful to you.
