Israel, Anim Ancient Synagogue

Anim Synagogue, was an ancient synagogue in use during the 4th–7th centuries CE. The site is recognized as a National Heritage Site of Israel. It is located in the Yatir Forest, immediately south of the Green Line, in Israel. The synagogue is located at an ancient site identified with the Anim mentioned in the Bible. It is also believed to be the site of the large Jewish village of Anaya  during the Roman-Byzantine period. Eusebius mentions the same village in his Onomasticon as being one of two villages in his day, located south of Hebron, and bearing the same name. One of the two villages, he writes, had a settlement of Jews, while the other, of Christians.
