Ein Gedi (161 pictures)

Remains of the Jewish community of Ein Gedi, including dwellings and a synagogue, have been excavated. The synagogue was built at the beginning of the 3rd century AD. Buildings near the synagogue may have belonged to synagogue officials or served as study halls and an inn. The community and its synagogue were destroyed by fire, signs of which are very evident. A hoard of coins was found in the courtyard, the latest dating from the reign of Emperor Justinian I.
