1500-Year-Old Torah Charred Sefer Torah Discovered In Destroyed Shul
Around 50 years ago, excavations led by Prof. Dan Barag, Prof. Ehud Netzer, and Dr. Sefi Porath at the ancient Ein Gedi synagogue (dating back around 1500 years) uncovered the location of the synagogue’s Holy Ark. Inside were charred lumps that looked like utterly burnt coals.
