Hello Friends,
Journeying on our trip to The Holy Land, we checked into our Tiberius Hotel for dinner and overnight. The next day we explored the ruins of the synagogue in Capernium the center of Jesus’s ministry in Galilee. We visited Magdella (where Mary Magdalene came from). This is a place of a remarkable recent excavation. A hotel was being built around 2006 and artifacts were uncovered of a well preserved first century synagogue. This was, in the first century, an economic center for preserving fish to sell, and the priceless Magdella Stone (that is now encased in a glass viewing box in the hotel!) was found. This is a stone that was used to read the Tora from in the synagogue by The Rabbi. It is believed that Jesus would have very likely used this stone when he read the Tora in this Synagogue. The well-preserved tiles on the floor would very likely have heard the voice of Jesus.
That afternoon we stood atop The Mount of the Beattitudes where Jesus would have delivered the Sermon on the Mount and fed the 5,000 the loaves and fishes.
Thank you so much for reading my blog.
Shalom (peace be with you), LeeLee
