Today 21st of Tevet , Dec 30 in Jewish History


Today the 21st of Tevet is the birthday of Shimon (ca. 1567 B.C.E. – ca. 1447 B.C.E.), the son of Jacob our forefather and one of the twelve Jewish Tribes. Shimon is buried in the City of Matzada, which was given to the Tribe of Shimon. The tribe of Shimon never received its own land, however the families of Shimon dwelt within the land of the strongest tribe, the leadership tribe of Judah.
