Masada

Feb 25 - Next we visited Masada, ascending by cable car, we toured the famous archaeological site, an ancient fortress, where Jewish Zealots made their last stand against Rome in 73 AD.  In the synagogue's treasury where they kept the torah, they found two passages - Deut 33 and Ezekiel 37.  They believe the people were meditating on these passages before their deaths.
