This is a tale of two Israeli cities, one is very old and the other comparatively new. Both teach us important things about Israel's history and what has given The Land its resilience and stability. Joppa (Jaffa) is an ancient seaport. It was a Canaanite city when Israel returned after 400 years in captivity in Egypt. This was the port through which King Hiram sent the cedars and other building materials for the Temple in Jerusalem. But before that time, the prophet Jonah began his journey to Nineveh here ;in Joppa Peter raised the good benefactor, Tabitha from death, and here Peter saw that G-d had declared the non-Jews to be worthy of His Word in a vision of kosher and not kosher creatures on a sheet.
