Interesting facts about this location
Peki'in Synagogue
The Peki’in Synagogue, located in the centre of Peki'in, Northern Israel, is said to have built into its walls two stones taken from the walls of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. The current structure dates from 1873 and is said to have been built on a site of an ancient synagogue dating from the era of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, around the 3rd-4th century CE. Funding for the construction, attested to on a plaque commemorating the donation, was given by a Jew named Rafael Halevy from Beirut.

Shezor is a moshav in the Galilee in northern Israel. It is located near the similarly named Arab village, Sajur. It belongs to the Merom HaGalil Regional Council. The community was founded as a Nachal planned community that was settled in 1953 by immigrants to Israel from Morocco. After most of the original settlers left the community, new immigrants arrived from Iraq and Iran. The moshav is named for an ancient city named "Shezur" that apparently existed nearby.
