Hi Everyone! Archaeologists have uncovered a cache of 2,200-year-old silver coins near the Dead Sea, which they say is the first physical proof that Jews fled to the Judean Desert during the upheaval and persecution under Hanukkah villain Antiochus IV Epiphanes.
I posted the article, images and videos of the Israel Antiquities Authority announcement at: jr.co.il/only-in-israel/2200-year-old-coin-hoard.htm Chanukah starts this Sunday night, December 18. I updated the Chanukah links at: jr.co.il/hotsites/chanukah.htm I added many new videos to the 1,100+ Chanukah video list at: jr.co.il/videos/chanukah-videos.htm Additional videos will be added this week. New photos at the Chanukah Gallery at: jr.co.il/hotsites/chanukah-photos.htm Enjoy! Please share. Thank you!
