An Ancient Synagogue in Susya (5th century CE)
https://maps.app.goo.gl/tLw482nX8E2vHULbA

This synaggogoue is unique in several ways:
It is one of four in the southern Hebron mountains which have three things in common:
- No Columns
- Stone Menora's
- Entrance from the east (like in the temple)

Also they have very thick walls, and roling stones to close the entraces in case of emergency. The one in Susya additionally has an escape tunnel out of the synagogue.

But the most special feature here is that of the mosaics mentions a Yeshua (ישוע). Can you spot it?

I had the opportunity to pray in there with my jewish brothers. Thatr was so special!
