An Armchair Tour of Israel
Sept. 2017: What is a 9-ton slab of glass doing in the middle of a burial cave in Beit She'arim, Israel? And why does such a small town need a wall? What were they protecting?

Beit She'arim is an ancient Jewish necropolis where Yehuda ha-Nasi, the head of the Sanhedrin, was buried. This catacomb cave dates back to the second century AD and is one of the greatest archeological sites in Israel.
