Gamla-The remains of the ancient city
of Gamla are at the foot of a steep trail, some 20 minutes’ walk from
the observation point of the ruins. Gamla, a prosperous Jewish town in
the Second Temple period, became famous at the beginning of the Great
Revolt (67 CE) for its battle against the Romans. The courage of the
Jewish defenders is dramatically described by Josephus in his work, The
Jewish War.
I thought I grew up in an old house-built in 1940. I moved to Rockland and thought we had an old house, 1890. I visited friends in England and thought THEY had an old house- 1040. OK, that is old, but 67CE. If rocks could speak!
In the distance, Mt. Hermon. Still snow on it, incredibly, since it was in the 90's where I took the picture.
THE MEMORIAL AT GAMLA, for lives lost for Israel.
Ancient Katzrin- a Talmudic era village somewhat reconstructed.
This is an olive press.
