Please join us at 4.00 pm to meet Mike who spent four years as a volunteer excavator and guide at the archaeological dig in Magdala on the shores of Lake Kinneret.

Inspired by what was uncovered and his broad knowledge of Jewish history, Mike will share some of his experiences which have led to his amazing vision of Jewish life in this town which flourished at the time of The Second Temple.

This site was discovered in 2009 and has the only First Century synagogue in the Galilee. Mike is very keen to promote the strong and unique Jewish connections to this place.

He has completed a book entitled ‘Jewish Magdala, The Pompeii of Galilee’, and this zoom talk will include illustrations from the book.

We are aiming to extend Mitzvah Day throughout the year, with a Mitzvah a Month.  Following our successful Mitzvah Day card-making session, we are holding another card-making morning, and are planning to make cards to be sent out to Mosaic Jewish Community members, to let them know we are thinking about them through this very difficult time.

NO ARTISTIC ABILITY is necessary—just a desire to bring a smile to someone’s face, and to spend a pleasant hour and a half with friends, making cards.  See the attached list for useful materials.  Some card, pictures, scissors, glue, coloured pens are all you need to start!

We look forward to seeing you there!
