About this listen

Join tour guide Abigail in Israel as we head to Huqoq, an archaeological site in the Galilee region. At Huqoq, we’ll meet back up with Dr. Jodi Magness, an archaeologist and director of the Huqoq Excavation Project, who has graciously agreed to give us a tour of the site.

Come along on the adventure to learn more about this ancient Jewish village, which Jesus himself may have visited. Plus, you’ll get to see the centerpiece of the site: Huqoq’s synagogue that is paved with beautiful mosaics, detailing biblical and non-biblical stories. After our discussion with Dr. Magness about the Jonah mosaic, you may leave wondering whether Jonah was swallowed by 1 fish or 3 fish!
