Day 04 - Sat Apr 29

St. Peter’s fish(tilapia). Can live in both salt and fresh water. They love hot water temps. The springs were perfect.. warm and salty.

The pride of the community. Temple- sacrifices only/offerings to God. Synagogue is where the prayers are held/ community center/a gathering, learning, reading of the weekly portion. Mon, Thursday, Saturday there would gather to read the weekly portion. Monday and Thursday were market days. These would be stories , not necessarily chapters. Determined by the day you were born. They would all have a copy of the Torah kept in an ark facing Jerusalem. Everyone is reading the same portions all over the world. Words of wisdom afterwards. Always relates to a prophecy. These were the only days the Torah was opened.

Menora carving means synagogue. You could have your name etched into it for donating money for it just like today.

Roman town, north to south streets, east to west Ave creating islands. Grid system. Every town was set up the same. Every block or insala would be for one extended family. Concentric church built on top of it. Pottery shards were found with prayers on them and coins from Pontiuos Pilot time. The people living here are actual witnesses and seen Jesus for themselves.
