We’re excited to introduce you to the new English edition of our City of David newsletter. As Hanukkah brings its light to Jerusalem, we would like to share discoveries and experiences that connect the past and present.
Featured Discovery for Hanukkah
This Hanukkah brings a wonderful opportunity to explore findings from Ancient Jerusalem. Here are three articles that highlight recent discoveries connected to the spirit of the season:
Rare bronze coins minted by Antigonus II Mattathias feature Temple symbols, offering a glimpse into the political struggles of the final Hasmonean generation.
After more than a decade of excavation and anticipation, the Pilgrimage Road is finally being revealed. This is the path walked by visitors to Jerusalem in the days of the Second Temple - the very stones that carried their hope, their prayers and their steps as they ascended from the Pool of Siloam toward the Temple Mount.
The newly exposed section reveals a majestic drainage channel, a broad ceremonial street and finds that bring us closer to the people who lived, walked and experienced Jerusalem 2,000 years ago.
Pilgrimage Road tours will be open for reservations soon. Stay tuned!
Discover a curated playlist of short videos exploring Hasmonean-period finds from the City of David, offering a visual glimpse into the history of Hanukkah.
