New Discoveries and Current Research presents archaeological evidence - the architecture, art, Jewish symbols, zodiac, biblical tales, inscriptions, and coins ? which attest to the importance of the synagogue. When considered as a whole, all these pieces of evidence confirm the centrality of the synagogue institution in the life of the Jewish communities all through Israel and in the Diaspora. Most importantly, the synagogue and its art and architecture played a powerful role in the preservation of the fundamental beliefs, customs, and traditions of the Jewish people following the destruction of the Second Temple and the loss of Jewish sovereignty in the Land of Israel. The book also includes a supplement of the report on the Qazion excavation. 410 0$aHandbook of Oriental studies.$nSection 1,$pAncient Near East ;$vv. 105. 606 $aExcavations (Archaeology) 606 $aJewish art and symbolism 606 $aJews$xAntiquities 606 $aSynagogue architecture 606 $aSynagogue art 606 $aSynagogues$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aExcavations (Archaeology) 615 0$aJewish art and symbolism. 615 0$aJews$xAntiquities. 615 0$aSynagogue architecture. 615 0$aSynagogue art. 615 0$aSynagogues$xHistory. 676 $a726/.3 700 $aHachlili$b Rachel$0878137 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453471403321 996 $aAncient synagogues-archaeology and art$92059335 997 $aUNINA
