\""Grandpa, look what we found," the grandchildren of US Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, exclaimed with excitement as they pulled out five ancient coins from a hidden cave recently discovered near the settlement of Na'ale in Binyamin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The family members participated in a unique archaeological tour initiated by Ruthie Lieberman, political consultant and founder of the Yes-Israel project, and Sarah Paley. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The tour was conducted under the guidance of Dr. Dvir Raviv from Bar Ilan University, who is conducting an archaeological survey at the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the first cave they reached, which was known to residents of the area, fragments of a jar from the second century AD were found - evidence that it was used as a hiding place for refugees during the Bar Kokhba revolt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the second cave, which is not known to the public, the grandchildren were equipped with a metal detector and discovered five ancient coins, possibly from the Bar Kochba Revolt, the Great Revolt, or the late Roman period. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\""It was amazing to see a senior person who cares so much about connecting to the land with his family," said Dr. Raviv.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After visiting the caves, Huckabee and his wife, the daughter of Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee-Sanders, her husband and their family continued to ancient Shiloh, accompanied by the director of the Benjamin Council's overseas desk, Eliana Fenstein. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ambassador, who has previously visited the site several times as a guest of Council Chairman Israel Gantz, said: "I have a warm place in my heart for ancient Shiloh. It's amazing to come to a place that proves that miracles can happen, 3,000 years ago and even today.".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The head of the Binyamin Council, Israel Gantz, said: "We were pleased to host Ambassador Huckabee and his family at the archaeological sites of Binyamin - the place where heritage was revived. The findings they discovered are the best evidence of our historical right to all parts of the Land of Israel.".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ruthie Lieberman added: "This tour is part of a series of tours aimed at strengthening the connection between supporters of Israel in the United States and our homeland.".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Huckabee, a friend of the settlement in Judea and Samaria, has made visits to Binyamin a veritable tradition. This is the third time he has returned to ancient Shiloh - this time with his grandchildren.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\"\u05e1\u05d1\u05d0, \u05ea\u05e8\u05d0\u05d4 \u05de\u05d4 \u05de\u05e6\u05d0\u05e0\u05d5\", \u05e7\u05e8\u05d0\u05d5 \u05d1\u05d4\u05ea\u05e8\u05d2\u05e9\u05d5\u05ea \u05e0\u05db\u05d3\u05d9\u05d5 \u05e9\u05dc \u05e9\u05d2\u05e8\u05d9\u05e8 \u05d0\u05e8\u05d4\"\u05d1 \u05d1\u05d9\u05e9\u05e8\u05d0\u05dc, \u05de\u05d9\u05d9\u05e7 \u05d4\u05d0\u05e7\u05d1\u05d9, \u05d1\u05e2\u05ea \u05e9\u05e9\u05dc\u05e4\u05d5 \u05d7\u05de\u05d9\u05e9\u05d4 \u05de\u05d8\u05d1\u05e2\u05d5\u05ea \u05e2\u05ea\u05d9\u05e7\u05d9\u05dd \u05de\u05de\u05e2\u05e8\u05ea \u05de\u05e1\u05ea\u05d5\u05e8 \u05e9\u05d4\u05ea\u05d2\u05dc\u05ea\u05d4 \u05dc\u05d0\u05d7\u05e8\u05d5\u05e0\u05d4 \u05e1\u05de\u05d5\u05da \u05dc\u05d9\u05d9\u05e9\u05d5\u05d1 \u05e0\u05e2\u05dc\u05d4 \u05d1\u05d1\u05e0\u05d9\u05de\u05d9\u05df. \u05d1\u05e0\u05d9 \u05d4\u05de\u05e9\u05e4\u05d7\u05d4 \u05d4\u05e9\u05ea\u05ea\u05e4\u05d5 \u05d1\u05e1\u05d9\u05d5\u05e8 \u05d0\u05e8\u05db\u05d9\u05d0\u05d5\u05dc\u05d5\u05d2\u05d9 \u05d9\u05d9\u05d7\u05d5\u05d3\u05d9 \u05d1\u05d9\u05d5\u05d6\u05de\u05ea \u05e8\u05d5\u05ea\u05d9 \u05dc\u05d9\u05d1\u05e8\u05de\u05df, \u05d9\u05d5\u05e2\u05e6\u05ea \u05e4\u05d5\u05dc\u05d9\u05d8\u05d9\u05ea \u05d5\u05de\u05d9\u05d9\u05e1\u05d3\u05ea \u05e4\u05e8\u05d5\u05d9\u05e7\u05d8 \u05d9\u05e1-\u05d9\u05e9\u05e8\u05d0\u05dc, \u05d5\u05e9\u05e8\u05d4 \u05e4\u05d0\u05dc\u05d9\u05d9. \u05d4\u05e1\u05d9\u05d5\u05e8 \u05e0\u05e2\u05e8\u05da \u05d1\u05d4\u05d3\u05e8\u05db\u05ea \u05d3\"\u05e8 \u05d3\u05d1\u05d9\u05e8 \u05e8\u05d1\u05d9\u05d1 \u05de\u05d0\u05d5\u05e0\u05d9\u05d1\u05e8\u05e1\u05d9\u05d8\u05ea \u05d1\u05e8 \u05d0\u05d9\u05dc\u05df, \u05e9\u05de\u05e0\u05d4\u05dc \u05e1\u05e7\u05e8 \u05d0\u05e8\u05db\u05d9\u05d0\u05d5\u05dc\u05d5\u05d2\u05d9 \u05d1\u05de\u05e7\u05d5\u05dd.
