Jewish license plate: Bet Shan

bet shan

SAN DIEGO –Melanie Rubin, who remembers her Israeli geography, spotted this license plate.  It doesn’t exactly say “Beit She’an” but it is close enough.  According to the Bible, that was the area in Israel where the Philistines hung the body of King Saul from a wall.  Now, we don’t know this is what the car’s owners had in mind.  It could refer to two people’s names.
