To the lower right is a smaller, slightly torn clipping from the same newspaper the following day, dated November 19, 1973. Its headline reads: “U.S. Team in Turkey Finds A Vast Ancient Synagogue.” This article mentions that American archeologists studied the largest ancient synagogue known outside Israel, located in Sardis, and that eight synagogues have been identified in Asia Minor.
The articles are neatly mounted on the beige folder page, with handwritten notations on the clippings including dates like “11/18/73” and “11/19/73,” possibly for archival purposes.
