Israel, Nabratein(Naburiya) Ancient Synagogue

Naburiya was a Jewish village in the Galilee region of the Kingdom of Israel during the First and Second Temple periods. Neburaya, identical with Nabratein, is located north of Safed and is the place where Eleazar of Modi’im and Jacob of Kfar Neburaya, a compiler of the Haggadah, are buried. The excavated remains of the Naburiya synagogue indicate that it is one of the oldest in the Galilee. The original synagogue was enlarged during the third century and destroyed in the Galilee earthquake of 363.
