As we come to the end of the fast here in Israel, I wanted to share with you the tune I played on the Handpan to the eternal words of Isaiah (40):
"Take comfort, take comfort, my people, says your G-d. Speak unto the heart of Jerusalem and call out to her..."🎶
Ancient Synagogues of Israel #6
Horvat Rimmon is an archaeological site in Israel's southern Judean Lowlands. Located on a low hill about 500 metres south of Lahav.
It preserves the remains of a Jewish village occupied from the late Second Temple period into the early Islamic era.
The site includes a large synagogue complex that underwent three main construction phases from the 3rd to the 7th century CE, along with a cemetery of rock-cut tombs, a subterranean hiding complex, a mikveh (ritual bath), domestic structures, and several late Roman and Byzantine coin hoards.
Excavations have uncovered a synagogue paved with flagstones decorated with rosettes and a menorah.
They also revealed a funerary inscription reading "Jacob son of Rabbi", as well as a ceramic amulet inscribed with a love charm whose formula and "magic signs" closely parallel medieval Jewish texts.

The tomb was already fixed and repainted last night by Yossi Dagan (head of the Shomron Regional Council) and the farmer from the nearby "Sons of Ahron" farm.

Arabs from Awarta attempted to burn down the grave of Elazar Hacohen (Ahrons' son) located in their village.
Question: If they are the "real Jews", as some people online here claim, why are they burning down an ancient Jewish grave?
Note that this isn't the first instance of vandalism

New Palestinian propaganda tactic to fool Christians is to define half of the West Bank as part of the Christian town of Tayibe so they could call every security incident in the area "an Israeli attack on the last Christian town!!!!!"

Ancient Synagogues of Israel #5
The Nabratein synagogue, also known as the Navoraya synagogue, is an ancient synagogue and archaeological site in a pine forest northeast of Safed, in Israel's Upper Galilee region.
It dates from the 3rd century CE to the 7th century CE.
The year of its construction is known from the inscription above the main door: "According to the counting of four hundred and ninety-four years to (from) the destruction of the Temple (lit. "House"); built during the public service of Hanina son of ("ben") Lizar and Luliana son of ("bar") Yudan." Read as "Built 494 years after the destruction of the Temple," etc., this dates it to 564 CE.
Some ancient Talmudic scholars are said to be buried near the synagogue.
