[2] Naburiya was a Jewish village in the Galilee region of the Kingdom of Israel during the First[dubious – discuss][citation needed] and Second Temple periods.
[9] Jodi Magness even posits that there has been only one synagogue at the site, not three successive ones, and that it hasn't been built before the second half of the 4th century.
Kitchener of the Palestine Exploration Fund visited the site in 1877, he found the remains of the synagogue completely leveled to the ground and its columns fallen, along with the lintel of the main entrance.
[12] The synagogue was excavated in 1905 by Heinrich Kohl and Carl Watzinger, and again in 1980-1981 by Eric and Carol Meyers.
[1] The façade was partially reconstructed by the Jewish National Fund and the Israel Antiquities Authority.
