Ancient Temple in Israel

Naburiya synagogue in Biriya Forest – Navoriya ancient synagogue in the Galilee

The town of Naburiya, also known as Nevoraya, was occupied during the first and second temple periods. It was then abandoned for about 200 years before it was resettled by Jews. The village was mentioned in the Talmud. The ancient synagogue dates to the Roman period, sometime between the 2nd and 4th c CE, and was used until the 7th c CE.

The synagogue had two rows of four stone columns. The façade was reconstructed by the JNF. The entrance to the synagogue was from the south side, and the ark was next to the entrance on the south. In its final stage, a northern entrance was added to the synagogue.
The major finds were the lintels; one was decorated with a menorah inside of a wreath, with a Hebrew inscription which dates the lintel to the year 564. The inscription is unique in that it dates from the destruction of the second temple in 70 CE. It was discovered by archaeologist Nachman Avigad, and can be seen in the Israel Museum.

Part of the ark was found, which probably had shelves for Torah scrolls. Above the ark, 2 lions were engraved into the stone which also had a hole for the eternal fire. This can be found in the Rockefeller Museum.
