This book was released on 2024-04-13 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the heart of Dimona, Israel, the tight-knit Hebrew Israelite community was shattered by an unspeakable tragedy. Three young lives, full of promise and hope, were lost during a class trip to Ashkelon. Zevolon Ben Israel, Menorahteeyah Baht Israel, and Gahd Ben Israel, aged 13, 15, and 17 respectively, had embarked on what was supposed to be a day of adventure and camaraderie. As the news of the tragic drowning spread, grief enveloped the community like a heavy fog. Friends, families, and neighbors gathered at the synagogue, their faces etched with pain, seeking solace in each other's embrace. The elders of the community, with heavy hearts, made a solemn announcement: 30 days of mourning and prayers would be observed to honor the memories of the departed souls. During the 30 days that followed, the entire community rallied together in support of the grieving families. The synagogue became a sanctuary of prayer and reflection, as people poured out their anguish, seeking strength from the divine to endure this immense loss. Every evening, candlelight vigils were held, illuminating the darkness that had descended upon Dimona. The flickering flames symbolized the eternal light of the young ones' spirits, their memories forever cherished by those left behind. As the community mourned, stories of Zevolon, Menorahteeyah, and Gahd were shared, celebrating the joy they had brought into the lives of everyone around them. They were known for their bright smiles, kind hearts, and enthusiasm for life. Their absence left a void that could never be filled, and the pain of their departure was felt deeply by all. Beyond the grief, the community also sought to understand what led to the tragedy and how such incidents could be prevented in the future. Safety measures were revisited, and the importance of vigilance during outings and excursions was emphasized. As the days turned into weeks, the bond among the community members grew even stronger. They leaned on each other for support, offering a shoulder to cry on and a listening ear. The solidarity that emerged from this shared sorrow was a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. The 30 days of mourning culminated in a touching memorial service held by the shores of Ashkelon. Hundreds of community members, along with others from neighboring towns, came together to pay their respects to the departed souls. Prayers echoed over the crashing waves, carrying the hopes for peace and healing to the heavens. With heavy hearts, the community released floating lanterns into the sea, each carrying a message of love and farewell to Zevolon, Menorahteeyah, and Gahd. The lanterns floated on the water, illuminating the night sky, and for a moment, it felt as if the spirits of the young ones were guiding them to a place of eternal serenity. In the aftermath of the mourning period, life in Dimona began to slowly return to a new normal. While the pain of loss remained, the community vowed to carry forward the lessons learned from this tragedy. They would cherish every moment, hold their loved ones close, and always remember the three young souls who had touched their lives in such profound ways. Though the scars of grief would never fully fade, the unity and love that emerged from those 30 days of mourning would forever be etched in the collective memory of the Hebrew Israelite community in Dimona, a testament to the enduring power of faith, compassion, and the strength found in supporting one another through the darkest of times.
Download or read book Ashkelon 3 written by Lawrence E. Stager and published by Final Reports of The Leon Levy Expedition to Ashkelon. This book was released on 2011 with total page 817 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Leon Levy Expedition to Ashkelon continues its final report series with a study of the city destroyed in the campaign of the Babylonian king Nebuchadrezzar in December of 604 B.C. In this era, Ashkelon's markets linked land routes from the southeast to a web of international Mediterranean merchants, and this volume describes the Iron Age bazaar where shopkeepers sold the goods of Egypt, Greece, Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Judah. In addition, in another part of the city, a winery produced a homegrown vintage for distribution abroad. This volume spans more than 800 full-color pages illustrating the range of imported and local artifacts recovered by more than ten years of excavation. The twenty-eight chapters, by more than two dozen contributors, combine to describe Ashkelon's pivotal role in the economy and politics of the late seventh century B.C. As such, Ashkelon 3: The Seventh Century B.C. is a indispensable resource for those interested in the Iron Age history of the Eastern Mediterranean and the study of trade and economy in the ancient world.

Download or read book Israel and the Gaza Strip written by Arnon Golan and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-09-30 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book concentrates on the formative period of the Gaza Strip and the bordering Israeli Gaza Frontier Area, considering them as a distinct geographic region that might best be understood as an integral unit of analysis. Based on abundant Israeli, British and American documentation, articles from the contemporary Arab press and other sources that reflect Arab perspectives, the book deals with the formation of the Gaza Strip between the initial drawing of the boundaries of the 1947 UN partition plan until the Israeli withdrawal from the area in March 1957, following the 1956 War. It also concentrates on the development of the Israeli urban and rural settlement systems that enveloped the Gaza Strip and formed the Gaza Frontier Area. Ultimately, the book provides a wider understanding of the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict, shedding light on political, military and demographic-spatial plans to solve the Gaza Strip abnormality that involved radical measures such as mass population transfers. The innovative historical-geographical approach of the research offers key insights into the politics of the region, and the book will be of particular interest to anyone studying the history and development of the Arab-Israeli conflict.

Book excerpt: Since 1985, the Leon Levy Expedition to Ashkelon, directed by Lawrence E. Stager of Harvard University, has been a leading American archaeological project in Israel. Now, the work of the project is being collected in ten final report volumes published by the Harvard Semitic Museum. The first volume, Introduction and Overview (1985-2006), spans more than 700 copiously illustrated pages, many in full color, and includes subjects ranging from microscopic DNA to monumental architecture. In addition, Volume 1 includes plans and descriptions of every architectural phase excavated during the course of seventeen field seasons and reveals the archaeological sequence of the site and aspects of the city plan from the Bronze Age to Crusader times, with special emphasis on Canaanite (Bronze Age) and Philistine (Iron Age) Ashkelon. The chapters in this volume, by more than three dozen contributors, combine to describe Ashkelon's cultural constants and contingencies over la longue durée (3000 BCE to 1500 CE). As a result, Ashkelon 1: Introduction and Overview (1985-2006) will be an indispensable resource for investigating the maritime and terrestrial history of the southeastern Mediterranean littoral.
