A house to visit
Miriam and Theo Siebenber's house is nothing but ordinary. Their place of residence, purchased after the Six Day War, was discovered to contain a treasure trove of history buried deep underground. After years of digging in the basement, they now present a collection of archaeological artifacts that appear on display. Arrowheads, inkwells, coins, ancient pottery, a glass cup and pieces of jewelry including a bronze key ring, likely used in the Second Temple era by a woman to unlock her jewelry box, can all be seen in their display.

We are a group of Israeli citizens who love their homeland and believe in a Jewish tradition and culture that values a compassionate, open-minded respect for the sanctity of human life and dignity.
