הארכאולוג צחי דבירה הופך כל אבן באדמת הר הבית ומוצא פריטים בני אלפי שנים שמבססים מדעית את הקשר למקום

Heartwarming moment! 🥲
This just happened in Israel, as protesters who are against the judicial overhaul head down the escalator and meet those who are protesting for the judicial overhaul heading up the escalator of a Jerusalem train station.
As Tisha B’Av is upon us, and we approach the saddest day in the Jewish calendar on which we lost both our temples due to sinas chinum (hatred), Klal Yisrael is hoping to find a path of balance, harmony, and oneness.
This is not a simple issue. But then again, nothing important in life is simple.
Let’s all daven for a future where moments like these are more than just moments.

#TIL that the city walls of #Jericho were associated with the figure of the labyrinth in some #Hebrew manuscripts (visualising the 7 turns around the city performed by Joshua). Some #medieval codices display the same association, but the labyrinth represents here the whole city

Over on the @PhoenixSeminary blog today, @drjohnmeade attempts to trace the history of the myth that Nicaea established the biblical canon. Enjoy.

Our #IWD2018 mentions are also full of women thanking other women, past & present, for supporting them. For challenging them. For building the foundations of their fields. These networks are so important, so empowering, & one of the key lessons we've learned from Trowelblazers

No @BIUK @Independent @thisisinsider @lashoe_maker Jerusalem's Old City isn't going to disappear anytime soon. So why include it in a list of destinations to visit before they disappear? The only thing that has disappeared is your commonsense. honestreporting.com/visit-je…
