The Institute is happy to announce the publication of a new volume in the Qedem Monograph Series - Qedem 64: The Synagogue at En-Gedi, by Yosef Porath, including chapters on mosaics, coins, glass and the unique inscription in the synagogue floor, as well as flora, fauna and textile remains, by specialists in these fields. The publication of this important synagogue, revealed in the joint Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Israel Antiquities Authority excavations conducted 50 years ago, marks a significant contribution to the study of ancient synagogues in Israel, as well as of Jewish life in the Roman-Byzantine period in this peripheral region. 

The event will take place on Wednesday, 23.3.22, at 17:00 in Room 302, The Institute of Archaeology, Mount Scopus Campus, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. All lectures will be given in Hebrew and will be broadcast via Zoom.
