Yavneh is an ancient city located in modern-day Israel, known for its historical significance during the time of the Second Temple. After the destruction of the Temple in 70 CE, it became a center for Jewish learning and leadership, particularly under the guidance of Rabbi Yohanan ben Zakkai. The city is also recognized for its role in the development of the Mishnah, a key text in Jewish law. Archaeological findings in Yavneh reveal remnants of its vibrant past, including a well-preserved synagogue and other structures that highlight its importance in Jewish history.
