Yavneh Yam - Greeks and Jews in Maccabean Times: Adaptation, Assimilation and Resistance

A lecture by Dr. Moshe Fischer, Tel Aviv University

Yavneh Yam is on the Israeli coast north of Ashdod and from the Middle Bronze Age forward has been home to Canaanites, Greeks, Phoenicians, Jews, Christians, Pagans, Samaritans, and Muslims. Archaeological remains over millennia have revealed many layers of destruction.

Professor Fischer will use a portion of the rich history unearthed at Yavneh Yam to discuss the multidimensional relationship between Greeks and Judeans during the Maccabean era.
