Remains of an ancient synagogue dating back as far as the 7th century were recently discovered in a resort town off Turkey’s Mediterranean coast.
The synagogue was revealed in the town of Side in southern Turkey, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA) reported.
Among the remains was a plaque portraying a menorah motif and an inscription in Hebrew and Greek noting that it was donated by a father in honor of his son who died at a young age.
The plaque ends with the Hebrew word “Shalom,” which is a greeting word meaning “peace.”
