Our site showcases Jewish history, presence and ties to the Land of Israel for over 3,500 years.

Our goal is to cover a wide range of archaeology and historical documentation related to the people of Israel in the Land of Israel over millennia. We believe, at present, this site is unique in showing the “bigger picture,” serving as both Education and Advocacy.

ABOUT THIS SITE

The site is divided into 3 sections:

“We must learn once more to avow our ancestry and our history; we must once more take upon ourselves as a nation, cultural tasks of a kind calculated to strengthen our feeling of solidarity. It is not sufficient for us to take part as individuals in the cultural work of mankind: we must also set our hands to some work, which can serve the ends of our corporate national existence. In this way and in this way only can the Jewish people regain its health. ”

Albert Einstein, Zionist, 1921

WE BELIEVE IN

Jewish Education is a key value in the Jewish World. In a fast-paced world with excessive information, our website provides user-friendly bite-size info on key archaeological finds and documentation in a well-organized timeline corresponding with the Hebrew Bible (TANAKH) and other historical texts. The site provides tangible facts in a holistic well-contextualized narrative.
Looking at the ruins of ancient magnificent structures and subsequent destruction, of exile and return, small hints and reminders emerge of a continuous Jewish presence in the Land through the testimonies of archaeological relics and forlorn traveller’s letters. The Jewish People in the Land of Israel – an eternal heritage.
In a day and age when even the Holocaust is denied, some who reject the presence of Jews in the Land of Israel have argued that Jews have no connection to the Land, and therefore accuse the Jews living there 
as being settler colonisers. 

However, Jewish presence in the Land for over 3,500 years is confirmed, ironically, by our ancient enemies, written in clay and stone, and exhibited in prominent museums in Cairo, Berlin, Paris, Istanbul, London, Baghdad, Jerusalem and more.
