Seal imprint from the time of Ezra and Nehemiah

Archaeological evidence from the time of Zion's return to Jerusalem: a seal impression discovered in archaeological excavations by the Antiquities Authority and Tel Aviv University in the Givati Parking Lot in the City of David, in the National Park around the walls of Jerusalem. The new findings may show that, despite the difficult situation of Jerusalem after the destruction of the First Temple, efforts were made to restore the administrative systems. The figure of a man, apparently a king, is imprinted, sitting on a large chair, with two pillars in front of him.

Everyone is a little light

How many children in the world get to live in the land of their ancestors and actually touch the objects they left behind? This magic exists almost exclusively in the Land of Israel, mainly in Jerusalem, and especially in Emek Tzurim. This valley, which lies below Mount Scopus next to the Kidron stream, has in recent years become the most surprising archaeological research laboratory of our region. What is special about it is that children are full partners in everything that is happening there.
