King David's palace was amazingly discovered in the City of David, just outside the present walls of the Old City of Jerusalem. After years of archaeological excavations, an ancient Canaanite fortress was uncovered at this site as well. As today's verse describes, when King David entered the city he conquered the "stronghold of Zion" from the pagan Jebusites, quite possibly this very fortress discovered thousands of years later! By wearing a piece of jewelry from the City of David, you carry the ancient biblical world with you, each gorgeous replica copying archaeological findings to the most minute detail.

Igor Farberov's photo of Jerusalem's Old City walls. The walls and gates were built in the early 16th c. by the Turkish Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, who mistakenly excluded an important site. The City of David and David's Palace were later discovered close to, but not within, the Sultan's walls.

Yesterday's photo featured a roaring Sa'ars Fall in the Golan Heights of Northern Israel. The waterfalls are best visited in the winter or spring when the water and snow from Mount Hermon are still making their descent to the Sea of Galilee.
