  • The Vandalism of the Mosaics in the Severan Synagogue in Hammat Tiberias
    Rebecca Kasmin The Vandalism of the Mosaics in the Severan Synagogue in Hammat Tiberias Rebecca Kasmin In the third and fourth century CE, the ancient city of Hammat Tiberias, located in modern-day Israel, developed as a Jewish center. One of its synagogues, excavated in the 1960s, contains a remarkable floor mosaic, one of the earliest synagogue mosaics in the country. It is composed of several panels, depicting traditional Jewish religious objects, as well as a zodiac wheel, complete with personifications of the four seasons, plus the figure of the god Helios in the middle, riding in his chariot. The extraordinary nature and circumstances of the mosaic and synagogue make its recent vandalism all the more difficult to bear. This article analyzes the vandalism of the mosaics that occurred on May 29, 2012, which seems most likely to be attributable to the Haredim, an ultra-orthodox sect of Judaism. After a discussion of the history of the site, and an analysis of the mosaics themselves, I discuss the perpetrators and their motive, the physical damage, recent comparable acts, and what could be done to prevent future attacks of a similar nature. One can only hope that raising awareness of these acts will prevent them in the future. 78 Chronika The Vandalism of the Mosaics in the Severan Synagogue in Hammat Tiberias Introduction years later, the Romans, always quick to take advantage of such a sought-after commodity, In 1920, the unsuspecting Jewish Labor erected beautiful spas and turned the town into Battalion was paving a road between the cities a popular resort.5 Hammat is mentioned as a of Tiberias and Zemach in Israel.

  • Ancient Synagogues in the Holy Land - What Synagogues?
    Reproduced from the Library of the Editor of www.theSamaritanUpdate.com Copyright 2008 We support Scholars and individuals that have an opinion or viewpoint relating to the Samaritan-Israelites. These views are not necessarily the views of the Samaritan-Israelites. We post the articles from Scholars and individuals for their significance in relation to Samaritan studies.) Ancient Synagogues in the Holy Land - What Synagogues? By David Landau 1. To believe archaeologists, the history of the Holy Land in the first few centuries of the Christian Era goes like this: After many year of staunch opposition to foreign influence the Jews finally adopted pagan symbols; they decorated their synagogues with naked Greek idols (Hammat Tiberias) or clothed ones (Beth Alpha), carved images of Zeus on their grave (Beth Shearim), depicted Hercules (Chorazin) and added a large swastika turning to the left (En Gedi) to their repertoire, etc. Incredible. I maintain that the so-called synagogues were actually Roman temples built during the reign of Maximin (the end of the 3rd century and beginning of the 4th) as a desperate means to fight what the roman considered the Christian menace. I base my conclusion on my study of the orientations of these buildings, their decorations and a testimony of the Christian historian Eusebius of Caesaria. 2. In 1928, foundations of an ancient synagogue were discovered near kibbutz Beth Alpha in the eastern Jezreel Valley at the foot of Mt. Gilboa. Eleazar Sukenik, the archaeologist who excavated the site wrote (1932: 11): Like most of the synagogues north of Jerusalem and west of the Jordan, the building is oriented in an approximately southerly direction.

  • Israel Travel Guide You Are Reading Is a Greatly Expanded Version of One I First Prepared for an American Friend Some Two Decades Ago
    ISRAEL: A PERSONAL TRAVEL GUIDE By Douglas E. Duckett Cincinnati, Ohio, USA [email protected] ©2004-2016 Douglas E. Duckett All rights reserved. INTRODUCTION. The Israel travel guide you are reading is a greatly expanded version of one I first prepared for an American friend some two decades ago. In it, I have tried to share my experiences and knowledge of Israel based on a lifetime of study and fifteen visits to the country, most recently in May 2016. I enjoy independent travel, and this guide was written primarily with such travelers in mind, though I hope the information will be helpful to those on group tours as well. As an American, I have produced a guide that, no doubt, reflects that identify and experience. I hope my readers from other countries will forgive that, and still find useful information to help plan their trips. I am not in the travel industry. Rather, I am a labor lawyer who loves Israel passionately and wants to encourage others to travel there and experience this wonderful land. My first visit was in November 1988, and I caught the bug; thus I started visiting every other year or so thereafter, except for 2000-2004, the truly terrible years of the second Palestinian uprising and the terror bombings in Israel cities. Now, with partial retirement, I am going every year (God willing!). Even with the mostly peaceful conditions prevailing since then, some friends still asked, “are you sure you want to go back to Israel?” Of course, recent tensions in Jerusalem, with a wave of stabbing attacks on Israelis, have further increased those anxieties, even for me to some degree.

  • Working Paper, Not for Distribution Without Permission of the Author. 1 Tessa Rajak: “Surviving the Book: the Greek Bible
    Working paper, not for distribution without permission of the author. Tessa Rajak: “Surviving the Book: The Greek Bible and Jewish Identity in the Ancient Mediterranean Diaspora” AND Steven Fine: “Jewish ‘Identity at the Limes: The Jews of Dura Europos between Rome and Persia” RESPONSE: LEE LEVINE Tessa Rajak and Steven Fine address two very important issues in understanding Jewish culture of later antiquity – biblical translation and the languages used by the Jews on the one hand, and synagogue art and epigraphy on the other. Since the source materials discussed by each are quite disparate and deal with very different geographical regions, historical contexts, and cultural media, I shall begin by treating each separately and then conclude with some final reflections on the common issue raised by both. Rajak’s paper on the Septuagint and the nature of its translation of the Hebrew Bible can be divided into two parts. The first two thirds deals with the Septuagint’s technique and rationale of translation while the last third discusses the centrality of the Hebrew language in defining Jewish identity in the Diaspora. Each of these topics merits a response. Rajak first elucidates the distinctive idiomatic Greek in the translations of the Septuagint’s different books. She notes that the apparent deviations from the accepted and more usual Greek idiom are not due to the translators’ limited command of the language or the inferiority of their style, but rather to their desire to approximate as much as possible the style and idiosyncrasies of the Hebrew original. On one occasion 1 Working paper, not for distribution without permission of the author.

  • Synagogue Inscriptions
    Jewish Epigraphic Culture in the Late Roman Age: Synagogue Inscriptions Proposals of a Dissertation for Habilitation at the Jewish University of Budapest 1. The Roman Empire as an “Epigraphic Civilization”. – The nearly three quarters of a million inscriptions chiselled in stone, bronze, wood and other materials, and which came to light in the territory of the former Roman Empire, form a unique historical source of documents which allow us to cast a glance at almost every field of ancient life. The spectrum of the Roman inscriptions ranges from the primitive epitaphs to the colossal monuments which served as visual representations of the state authorities. This medium of self-representation, since it could easily be adapted to the local native languages, was widespread in all territories of the Imperium Romanum. The “epigraphic civilization” (Louis Robert) accepted in the provinces of the Roman Empire, established special “epigraphic environments” (Greg Woolf) or “epigraphic landscapes” (Susan Alcock), although the “epigraphic habit” (Ramsay MacMullen) or “epigraphic consciousness” (John C. Mann) showed a different picture according to people, age, and area. 2. The Jewish “epigraphic habit” in the light of the Mosaic Law, the Rabbinic and diaspora literature. – What was this picture like in Iudaea/Syria–Palaestina under Roman occupation? What was the “Jewish epigraphic habit” like? What did Iudaea/Syria–Palaestina as “epigraphic landscape” look like? In order to answer these questions we examined the survived epigraphic material of the Late Roman–Early Byzantine Jewish synagogues. According to our working hypothesis in the case of Jewish epigraphy we have to find significant differences compared to that of the surrounding (pagan, Christian or Samaritan) sacred places.

In it, I have tried to share my experiences and knowledge of Israel based on a lifetime of study and eleven visits to the country, most recently in May 2012. I enjoy independent travel, and this guide was written primarily with such travelers in mind, though I hope the information will be helpful to those on group tours as well. As an American, I have produced a guide that is, no doubt, US-centric. I hope my readers from other countries will forgive that, and still find useful information. I am not in the travel industry. I am a labor lawyer who happens to love Israel passionately, and I want to encourage others to travel there and experience this wonderful land. My first visit was in November 1988, and I caught the bug; thus I started visiting every other year or so thereafter. I did not go from 1999-2005, the truly terrible years of the second Palestinian uprising and the terror bombings in Israel cities. Since, I have returned five more times, but even now, some friends still asked, “are you sure you want to go back to Israel?” So what is the reality? Each trip has been a dream, and travel to Israel is one of the great joys of my life.
