#Masada - (#Hebrew, meaning #Fortress) located in southern #Israel in the #Judean #Desert. King Herod the Great built it in the 1st century BCE. It is a significant site in #Jewish #history as the site of The Great Revolt. It has now become a #symbol of Jewish pride and #MosheDayan initiated the practice of holding swearing for #IDF #soldiers on top of Masada. The end of the #ceremony declares "Masada shall not fall again." #Taglit #Birthright 📷 & 📝 lesson by thirteenthknightphoto 👏
