As we approach this Passover, it is important that our community reinforce the im- portance of the celebration to the youngest members of our families. Whether this rein- forcement occurs during Seder, or throughout the year, it is an opportunity not to be missed. They are the future, something well remembered. Passover, like all our celebrations, is a time to remember the neediest in our community. Whether shut in, or unable to afford the basics, they are worthy of respect, and remem- bering. Among the things to remember, as well, is Federation’s Yom Ha’ Shoah Remembrance celebration. Our annual event is being held this year at Temple Israel, 7350 Lake An- drew Drive, Viera on Sunday, April 15. The event will start at 10:30 am. Everyone is welcome. Joel Moss

Host Families for Israeli Students, By Jeffrey Fishkin
From January 30th through February 7th, 2018, The Jewish Community of Brevard, for the 15th consecutive year, was again honored with a visit by a group of Israeli High School Students. This group of 44 Israeli students, and their 3 teacher escorts were enthusiastically welcomed by the Jewish Community. Twenty-two families graciously offered their homes to these students and teachers. They stayed for a week, which allowed enough time for a special bond to develop between the students and their Host Families. This was evident by observing the many teary eyes from both the students and their Host Families on the day of departure.
As with the previous groups that have visited our community, these students, aged 14-15 years, are from Beersheva. They were carefully select- ed to take part in a program that helps to increase the low level of science and technology proficiency in Israel. This is of great concern to the Israeli Government, which takes pride in the fact that Israel is one of the Top Technologically Advanced Nations in the world today.
These students represent two schools, one of them being Makif Gimel High School, which happens to be the same high school Ilan Ramon (the first Israeli Astronaut who flew on Columbia) attended, so this program is dedicated to his memory. They take advanced college courses deal- ing in science and technology, along with their regular high school courses.
On January 30th, the students arrived at Temple Israel to meet their host families. The students had already been in Orlando since January 28th, where they spent their time at the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios and shopping at the outlet stores.
On February 1st, the students went to Kennedy Space Center to take part in a memorial service to honor the Fallen Astronauts of Columbia, who perished during re-entry on February 1st, 2003, and especially, their fellow countrymen, Colonel Ilan Ramon, who was one of the crew of Co- lumbia, and the first Israeli Citizen to fly in space. Songs and poetry were read in his honor.
On that same day before the memorial service, the students went to the Educational Center. While there they were greeted by the Center Direc- tor of Kennedy Space Center, Bob Cabana, who is also a former Astronaut who flew 4 times into space, 2 of which were as Commander of the mission. Mr. Cabana presented a slide show on the Space Program, which included pictures of himself during his flights into space. He talked about his selection as an Astronaut, and the training that is required in preparation for a space flight. He answered many questions, signed pic- tures for all the students and teachers, and posed for a group picture. He told the students to expect failure, but never give up their goal to suc- ceed. Former Astronaut Jon McBride, who is one of the leaders of the Astronaut Memorial Foundation, was there to speak to the students. He was part of the first group of Astronauts chosen to fly the Shuttle, and was involved in the selection of Ilan Ramon as an Astronaut. He talked about his friendship with Ilan while he was stationed in Israel near Beer Sheva.
During their visit the students went on a special VIP tour of the Kennedy Space Center, which included a tour of the Vehicle Assembly Build- ing, the Launch Control Center and a drive around the inner perimeter of Pad A.
The remaining days for the students had them going to Eau Gallie High School, Cocoa Beach High School, Melbourne High School, and Stone Magnet Middle School. The rest of the time was devoted to sightseeing, shopping, and spending quality time with the Host Families.
Besides this being a wonderful visit, it was also a very emotional experience for both the Israeli Students and the Jewish Community of Brevard. The problems being faced daily by these students and their families in Israel were very much on the minds of the students and their host fami- lies. Our hearts and prays go out to these students and their families, and to all the People of Israel with hope for a lasting peace within the re- gion.
I want to take this time to thank Temple Israel for allowing the use of their beautiful facility for the daily drop-off and pickup of the students to and from their daily activities. The fact that your facility was centrally located made this visit most successful.
I want to thank all the Host Families for taking the time to host these students. The warmth you showed these students was so important in mak- ing these students feel welcome. I know this is not an easy task, especially when you have other obligations to consider. Without your help we could not have done this:
Eric & Sylvia Smitt, Lee & Hanna Krause, Dr. Robert & Bunny Lehton, Mark & Debbie Woodard, Monte & Nancy Taback, Roshan Hall & Boris Kerbikov, Rochelle Horn, Gadi Zik, Ariel & Mariam Shapira, Gary & Linda Stern, Doug & Patti Bryan, Kyle & Sandra Dixon, Bob & Nancy White, John & Charlotte Arnold, Rogier & Jennifer Chapon, Harvey & Joy Inventash, Tracy Ravin & Richard Shuster, Neil & Allison Raver, Rona Sakson, Robert & Leona Hillsgrove, and Rob & Rose Oudijans..
I want to thank my wife Monica for her support during this visit, and her patience and understanding in the many activities I had to do to make this visit a success. I Love You.
If everything goes well, the next visit (The 16th Anniversary) will occur again at the same time during the February 1st time frame. In the May, June, July time frame I will be making my preparations for that visit, which will include asking for host families.
Please give whatever support you can.

Rare Trove of Bronze Jewish Revolt Coins Unearthed Near Temple Mount
COINS INSCRIBED WITH 'FOR THE REDEMPTION OF ZION' Archaeologist Dr. Eilat Mazar's renewed excavation in the Ophel complex uncovers hoard in cave where Jerusalem residents sought refuge during war against the Romans
By AMANDA BORSCHEL-DAN March 26, 2018 Amanda Borschel-Dan is The Times of Israel's Jewish World and Archaeology editor.
A hoard of rare bronze Jewish Revolt coins has been discovered at the recently renewed Ophel excavations. The trove of dozens of bronze coins minted during the last years of the ill-fated four-year rebellion of the Jews against Roman rule was uncovered in a cave just south of the Temple Mount by Hebrew University archaeologist Dr. Eilat Mazar. The Ophel excavations, located below the Temple Mount’s southern wall, were relaunched in early 2018 after a four-year hiatus. They garnered international headlines after the publication of the recent “Prophet Isaiah” seal impression, which was dis- covered in the lead-up to the current dig season. Isaiah bulla, a 2,700-year-old clay seal impression which may have belonged to the biblical prophet Isaiah. (Ouria Tad- mor/© Eilat Mazar) Some 50 years ago, another hoard of Year Four coins was discovered by Prof. Benjamin Mazar, Eilat Mazar’s grandfa- ther, who conducted the Temple Mount excavations near Robinson’s Arch abutting the Western Wall following the 1967 Six Day War. The recently discovered bronze coins are remnants left by hidden Jewish residents of besieged Second Temple Jerusa- lem, who sought refuge in the 7×14 meter cave in 66-70 CE, according to a press release from the Hebrew University. The majority of the bronze coin hoard dates to the revolt’s final year, or Year Four (69-70 CE). They are decorated with Jewish symbols, including the four plant species associated with the holiday of Sukkot — palm, myrtle, citron and willow — and a chalice that may have been used by priests in the Temple. The coins display a paleo-Hebrew inscription, which shifted — arguably reflecting the mood of the rebels — during the revolt from earlier years’ “For the Freedom of Zion,” to Year Four’s “For the Redemption of Zion.” “A discovery like this — ancient coins bearing the words “Freedom” and “Redemption” — found right before the Jewish Festival of Freedom — Passover — begins is incredibly moving,” said Mazar in the press release. The coins were found alongside broken pottery vessels, including jars and cooking pots. A Hasmonean Period layer is found at the base of the cave and these finds were uncovered directly above. The cave, said Mazar, was undisturbed since the Second Temple period, creating a “time capsule” of Jewish life during the revolt. Mazar stated in a promotional film about the renewed excavation that the cave was most likely used in the last days of the rebellion, just ahead of the destruction of the temple. Part of the current excavation’s goal is to further understand the use of the cave, which shows habitation from the First Temple period and perhaps before. The Ophel excavations are located within the Walls Around Jerusalem National Park, which is managed by the National Parks and Gardens Authority and the Eastern Jerusalem Development Company. They are funded by the Herbert W. Armstrong College of Edmond, Oklahoma, whose students volunteer there. “This is an opportunity that doesn’t occur every day, to investigate a completely untouched cave at that important area of Jerusalem, just to the south of the Temple Mount in the area of the Ophel. It’s not going to be dull,” said Mazar. A rare find of Year Four bronze coins The Ophel bronze coin find is remarkable in that until today, most of the Jewish Revolt coin finds have dated to Year Two, when the Romans made great strides against the Jewish rebels. In fact, “the small amount of coins minted in the third year, and almost a complete lack of coins from the fourth year, indicates that most of the country was re-conquered by the Roman army fairly soon after the beginning of the revolt,” writes Robert Deutsch in his 2017 “The Coinage of the First Jewish Revolt against Rome, 66-73 C.E.” According to Deutsch, the bronze coins of the second and third years “are abundant and negligently manufactured.” The fourth year coins, however, “are of a slightly higher quality.” A recently published essay in the journal Israel Numismatic Research, “The Coin Finds from the 1968–1969 Excavations at Herodi- um,” points out that the Year Four bronze coins also bear different letter forms in that the letters bet and tsade “have some varie- ties and the shin is sometimes rounded and sometimes angular,” whereas the silver shekels have only an angular shin. Interestingly, there are no known mixed silver and bronze coin hoards from the first Jewish revolt, according to the INR essay: Silver coin hoards have only been found in Jerusalem and Masada, whereas bronze hoards dating to “year four” were found in Jerusalem, the site of the rebels’ mint, Herodium, and ‘Ein Mazruq. The essay refers to different studies which have hypothesized that the Year Four bronzes were minted by Simon Bar Gio- ra, the leader of one of the major Judean rebel factions, “but that these coins were part of the wartime economy and were used by all the rebels and not only by Bar Giora’s followers.” According to the scholars, “the hoarded bronze coins dating to ‘year four’ were found around and quite close to Jerusalem. This accords with the historic situation whereby at that time much of the country was captured by the Romans and only Jerusalem was still under rebel control.” Rebels, such as those who may have hid in Mazar’s Second Temple cave, would have had access to the coins, and perhaps hid them for a brighter future.
