Ein Gedi, an oasis on the shore of the Dead Sea in the Judean desert, was home to a prosperous Jewish community during the Roman and Byzantine periods, renowned for the production of Judean balsam. Excavations have uncovered a Byzantine synagogue (sixth century) with a remarkable mosaic and a Hebrew inscription warning against betraying the community's secrets.
