Profound Archaeological Finds



B"H

Archeologists found a broken fragment of a stone serving as a cover for a coffin which was made during the Second Temple period. The covering is made out of stone and was found north of Jerusalem.

The inscription on the fragment says:

"Ben HaCohen HaGadol - בן הכהן הגדול - The son of the High Priest"

The length of the stone is 60 cm and the width is 48 cm.

Some people see it as a miracle that the stone was found exactly a short while before Yom Kippur.
