Modi'inמודיעין

Judea

Modi'in was a town in the Judean foothills, the ancestral home of the Hasmonean (Maccabee) family, from which the revolt against Seleucid rule was launched in the second century BCE. In the Talmudic period it is associated with the tanna Rabbi Elazar of Modi'in (Elazar HaModa'i). The modern Israeli city of Modi'in is named for it.
