An employee at the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) holds one of the vessels that are believed to have contained opium in the 14th century BC, found at the Tel Yehud burial site and on display at the IAA offices in Jerusalem on September 20, 2022. - Israeli experts on September 20 said that they had uncovered the oldest known evidence of opium use, after discovering residue of the hallucinogenic drug in pottery dating from the 14th Century BC. A joint study by the Israel Antiquities Authority and Weizmann Institute of Science found evidence that opium was used in burial rituals in Canaan, a ancient territory that roughly encompasses modern day Israel and the Palestinian territories.

DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES - SEPTEMBER 23: Jewish teens take part in the first Sukkot Hop ever to be held in the United Arab Emirates on September 23, 2021 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Sukkot hopping has become a modern holiday ritual, with people (often kids and families) visiting multiple sukkot structures in one day. Sukkot, the Harvest Festival, is a Torah-commanded Jewish holiday marking the end of the agricultural year in the Land of Israel. The holiday also pays homage to the structural dwellings, also called sukkot, early Israelites lived in during their 40 years of exile in the desert. (Photo by Andrea DiCenzo/Getty Images)
