Dr. Jodi Magness, the outstanding archaeologist, prolific writer and excellent educator, joins Eve Harow to talk about her renewed decade long excavation at the ancient Jewish village of Huqoq in the Galilee. The mosaics discovered in the 1600 year old synagogue have been widely publicized as befitting their well preserved and unique depictions of Biblical scenes. She discusses what is a synagogue’s function, how they evolved over time and how the Jews fared in the Land under Byzantine rule. Listen in to a dynamic and ever curious woman who doesn’t let the work overtake her ultimate goals of discovering historical facts, if not truths.
