EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the ruins of the ancient fortress at Beth Zur, also known as Beit Tzur or Bethsura, situated on a hilltop in the Judean Mountains of the Middle East. The site holds significant historical importance as it is mentioned in the Old Testament of the Bible, specifically in the books of Maccabees, where it is recorded that the Battle of Beth Zur took place in 164 BC during the Maccabean Wars. The battle was a pivotal moment in Jewish history as it marked the turning point in the rebellion against the Seleucid Empire's attempt to suppress Jewish religious practices. The fortress, which dates back to the Hasmonean period, is a testament to the rich history of the region. The ruins, composed of large stones and rocks, are scattered across the hillside, offering a glimpse into the past. The west bank of the valley can be seen in the background, adding to the breathtaking beauty of the scene. The men who once manned the fortress walls are long gone, but their legacy lives on, inspiring awe and wonder in all who visit this sacred place. The fortress at Beth Zur stands as a reminder of the enduring spirit of the Jewish people and their unwavering commitment to their faith.
