Last week I pointed out a NYT report about how Yeshiva University students were trying to decipher an old Jewish tombstone from Zoar, in today's Jordan.
I happened to see a couple of similar tombstones from Zoar in the Israel Museum this week.
This blog may be a labor of love for me, but it takes a lot of effort, time and money. For over 14 years and 30,000 articles I have been providing accurate, original news that would have remained unnoticed. I've written hundreds of scoops and sometimes my reporting ends up making a real difference. I appreciate any donations you can give to keep this blog going.
