guy Posted December 17, 2021 Report Share Posted December 17, 2021 (edited) An interesting find: Quote This is the second time a synagogue has been found in Migdal, making it the only place in the world where two synagogues from the Second Temple Period have been found in the same area. The discovery of a second synagogue in this Galilean settlement casts light on the social and religious lives of the Jews in the area in this period, and reflects a need for a dedicated building for Torah reading and study and for social gatherings,” said Dina Avshalom-Gorni, one of the directors of the excavations. “We can imagine Mary Magdalene and her family coming to the synagogue here, along with other residents of Migdal, to participate in religious and communal events. The Magdela Stone found during the earlier excavation of the First Synagogue of Migdal in 2009. This might be the earliest image of the Temple Menorah to be found in a synagogue.
