If you ever wanted to know how old we are …

In Israel, archaeologists recently uncovered a rare cache of Roman swords in near-perfect condition in a desert cave near Ein Gedi, close to the Dead Sea, believed to date back to the Roman occupation of Judea around 1,900 years ago.

The swords, which include four Roman spatha (long swords) and one shorter weapon, were remarkably preserved, likely due to the region's arid climate and their concealment in a crevice within the cave.

Experts suggest the weapons may have been seized by Jewish rebels during the Bar Kokhba revolt (132–135 CE), a major Jewish uprising against Roman rule, and hidden to prevent their discovery.

This discovery offers insight into the tools of Roman military dominance and the strategies of resistance by local populations, highlighting the complex dynamics of imperial rule and rebellion.

The swords are being studied for their craftsmanship and historical significance, offering a rare glimpse into the Roman-era conflicts that shaped the region's history.

Tal Shoham went with his wife Adi and their children Neve 8 years old and Yael 3 years old to visit Adi’s parents on Oct 6
Who lived at Kibbutz Be’eri
On Oct 7 they were kidnapped and taken hostage from the kibbutz thrown into the trunk of a car taken by Hamas
Since there no room in the car for their grandfather he was shot and murdered by Hamas in front of his family before they were taken into Gaza
They were separated
Tal one way and Adi with the kids the other way
Adi and the kids came back after 55 days of hell in Hamas captivity
Tal is still in Gaza
Gilad and Nitza are Tal’s parents
Gilad was a soldier on my unit many years ago
During the last month I have been following and trying to support Gilad and Nitza
Tal is still in Gaza for over 320 days
The suffer and agony of this family is beyond comprehension
My friends Gilad and Nitza are trying to make their way to the USA to go on a fund raising as the support of the government is slowly fading
They were not able to work snd their life has been broken to pieces
Please support my friends on the campaign we had just set up for them

Iran vs Israel: Strategic Strikes, Global Support & Conflict Updates

Today, in our Weekly Update, we discuss our recent travels to the United States, where we connected with Israel's supporters and shared vital insights to help counter the global wave of anti-Israel sentiment. We dive into the latest developments in the conflict, including Israel's targeted strikes on key Hamas and Hezbollah leaders, and what these actions mean for the ongoing situation.

We also reflect on the challenges Israel faces, from the displacement of thousands to the ongoing hostage crisis in Gaza. Despite these hardships, the resilience and unity of the Israeli people remain strong. We touch on the broader context of this conflict, framing it as part of a larger cultural and religious struggle led by Iran and its proxies.

Additionally, we introduce a newly published book by Ronny Simon on Jewish history that offers a unique perspective on Judaism without focusing solely on religion. For those interested in learning more, we invite you to explore The Galilee Academy's resources, including virtual tours and educational materials.

Don't miss this in-depth discussion, and stay tuned for more updates. May the God of Israel richly bless you all.

Join us today as we dive into the fascinating life and legacy of King Hezekiah, a central figure in biblical history. In this episode, we'll explore two major events from his reign: the fall of the Northern Kingdom to the Assyrians and Hezekiah's strategic preparations for the Assyrian siege of Jerusalem under Sennacherib.

Discover how Hezekiah, against the tradition of allying with Egypt, bravely plotted a rebellion against the mighty Assyrian Empire, hoping to reunite the tribes of Israel. We'll also discuss Prophet Isaiah's advice to trust in God rather than in political alliances.

One of Hezekiah's most impressive achievements was the construction of a wide wall around Jerusalem to shelter refugees from the Northern Kingdom. We'll take a closer look at the engineering marvel of Hezekiah's Tunnel, built to secure the city's water supply.

We'll also share intriguing archaeological discoveries, including seals bearing Hezekiah's name and artifacts from Assyrian and Babylonian sieges, that bring his story to life.

King Hezekiah's story is one of courage, innovation, and faith. Watch now to explore his significant impact on history and the enduring legacy of his reign. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more captivating stories from biblical history!

Today, in our Weekly Update, we're discussing three crucial topics in the Middle East.

First, we'll be analyzing Israel's response to Iran's recent attack, and how it's being perceived by the international community. We'll also explore the significance of Holocaust Memorial Day, which is a special day for the Jewish community.

Next, we'll be talking about the Israeli offensive on Rafah in Gaza, which is expected to be the final act of the conflict with Hamas. We'll delve into the strategic importance of this location and what it means for the future of the region.

Finally, we'll be addressing the issue of anti-Semitism and how it's affecting Israel's public image. We'll discuss how anti-Semitism is often linked to ignorance and misinformation about Israel, and how this is being perpetuated by various groups and individuals.

Throughout the video, we'll be sharing our insights and opinions on these topics, as well as providing context and analysis. We'll also be discussing the importance of presenting a strong case for Israel in the face of anti-Semitism and misinformation.
