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..."🎶

@LisaLiel Don't remember, I'll look it up on Shabbat

[Daniel | דניאל 𓉱 @DanitheSett]

Just got back from a little excursion with our month-old daughter to the ancient remains of a Second Temple-era Jewish village not far from where we live.

Khirbet Shehada in western Samaria was one of the northernmost towns of the Hasmonean dynasty. It has a beautiful view of the coast and some remains of a Samaritan village as well.

Have a blessed Shabbat Shalom 🕯🕯 🇮🇱

Ancient Synagogues of Israel #15

Khirbet Majduliyya is an ancient Jewish village in the Golan Heights dating to the 1st century CE.

It was unique in that it wasn't destroyed during the Great Revolt. The village and synagogue continued to thrive until they were destroyed in the 3rd century.

@hazar_deniz69 Good point, I should have phrased it differently

Ancient Synagogues of Israel #14

The ancient synagogue in Peki'in dates back to the Second Temple period!
It contains remarkable carvings from that time, including a menorah, a shofar, and 4 species.

Jewish families have lived in Peki'in since the days of the Second Temple as well. Now, Margalit Zinati is the last descendant of that lineage.

The facade of the synagogue was pictured on the previous 100 shekel bill, along with Israel's second president, Yitzhak Ben Zvi z"l, who donated to its renovation.

Good evening and Chodesh Tov from Samaria 🇮🇱

(Yes, that is the Tel Aviv skyline in the distance)

[Daniel | דניאל 𓉱 @DanitheSett]

@ToriVillar76624 Thanks.
You mean of the word Peki'in?
I think its from the Hebrew word Peka, meaning a burst, schism, or bulb (of a plant).
But I'm no expert.

@observer199388 Good question, this is a relatively old picture, it might have changed since then
