Nahala (Inheritance) – Winter 2025
This past Hanukkah, a team of archaeologists from the University of Haifa made an amazing discovery that shed new light on our ancient heritage. During an
excavation in the Jordan Valley, the archaeologists unearthed a cache of over 160 coins, all bearing the image of the Hasmonean King Alexander Jannaeus, who, following the Maccabean Revolt, had ruled in Judea from 104-76 BCE.
