“On an Archaeological Dig in Israel: The Temple Mount Sifting Project”

By Sue Schein

We travel to Israel on January 15 when Sue Schein reports back from the Temple Mount Sifting Project in Jerusalem. On an archaeological dig that was part treasure hunt and part detective story, Sue shares with us some of the project’s remarkable finds, including several pieces that corroborate actual people and places mentioned int he Torah, and together we’ll explore how archaeology can play a role in establishing, or defending, notions of national identity. Luncheons are free and open to the community; donations to help defray luncheon expenses are gratefully accepted. Upcoming Program Dates: Feb. 19, Mar. 19 Apr. 16 & May 21.
