Lod? Where in God’s Earth is that?

Lod is one of Israel’s oldest cities, continually inhabited since its foundation some 8,000 years ago (although, not under the name “Lod”), and it is located midway between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.

For many hundreds of years, the city was the primary settlement of the Jewish population after the rebellion against the Romans, and later on, a center for the Christian population, that still lives there today.
