In the pages of the Bible, Chorazin (a.k.a Korazim) is recorded as being one of the cities where Jesus had preached and performed miracles. Today, there is a national park that preserves the ancient city of Chorazin. But here is the problem — how do we really know that this is the actual Biblical Chorazin?

This site had been excavated for over 100 years, but almost nothing substantial was found that dated back to the time of Jesus. The earliest findings were of the late 3rd century.

We had been here before, two years ago, and made a video about this place, as we met with the lead archaeologist Achia Cohen Tavor, who was searching for evidence of a 1st-century dwelling, but back at that time, they did not yet find the evidence. So we left this place with a big question — is this really the Chorazin that’s mentioned in the Bible?

But today we are back! We are back because Achia is making a groundbreaking discovery. He was given permission to lift the floor of the ancient synagogue. So join us today as we come alongside Achia on a once in a lifetime opportunity to excavate an ancient synagogue of Chorazin!
