Arched Synagogue Traditional Cache

Synagogue ruins from ancient Jewish town called Beit She'arim that was founded at the end of the 1st century BCE. The town is mentioned in rabbinical literature as an important center of Jewish learning during the 2nd century. Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi, head of the Sanhedrin and compiler of the , lived there.

Down the road you can find Beit Shearim National Park which is an archaeological site that consists of a necropolis and of rock-cut tombs that became so as an alternative for when Jews were barred instead of the most desired burial place for Jews, which was the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem.

It is possible to visit some of the catacombs.
