Even though mentioned only once in the Hebrew Bible, Kinneret was by far the most significant city in Galilee in the Early Iron Age (ca. 1000 BCE), representing the ancient "Canaanite" city culture in the time of King David. But who were the inhabitants of the city, and why do the stories about David not mention it at all? The German-Swiss-Finnish excavations have since 1980's sought an answer to these questions. Free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served. Support for this event comes from the Louis and Bessie Stein Foundation, The Milton and Miriam Handler Foundation, and the Friends of Judaic Studies.
