Look what Israeli archeologists have dug up from the Hasmonean dynasty that ruled the land following the Maccabees’ Chanukah triumph.

Leave it to Israel to end the Jewish holiday of Chanukah with an incredible Hasmonean-era discovery!

Former Knesset member Rabbi Dov Lipman explains why Greek, the language of our enemies in the Chanukah story, could be used for the writing of a Torah scroll.

'The stories of the Maccabees are coming to life before our eyes,' enthused the Israel Antiquities Authority director. 'It is extremely exciting.'

Just in time for Chanukah! A City of David archaeologist has discovered an intact oil lamp from the Second Temple period.

The Land of Israel constantly reveals hidden treasures, testifying to its rich history and the Jewish people's deep and long-lasting ties to the land. This time, the discoveries have a seasonal significance as well.

An archaeological excavation provides more evidence of vibrant Jewish life in ancient Israel and to the Jewish revolt against the Romans in the Hasmonean era.
