2020-2021 Plus Jordan & Egypt Includes ISRAEL Touring by Private Car 2020-2021 Plus Jordan & Egypt Israel will mark its 72nd birthday in 2020. No, 72 is not usually a special reason to celebrate – except that in Israel 72? it is. Why? Because in Jewish lore, the number 18 signifies “life.” And “72” means “life” multiplied by four. So 2020 is the year to visit Israel and to rejoice in life. Every year more and more visitors come. 2019 was the best year ever and 2020 looks like it’ll be even bigger. This tiny country has more sights, history, culture, spirituality and wonder than any place – big or small – on earth. It’s a proud, high-tech, culturally advanced and extraordinarily successful Israel that more and more travelers of every faith, hue, interest and orientation want to discover. For millennia, people have dreamed of visiting this tiny parcel of land – and it’s never been as effortless as it is in 2020 in the care of Isram Israel.

  • Reassessing the Judean Desert Caves: Libraries, Archives, Genizas and Hiding Places
    Bulletin of the Anglo-Israel Archaeological Society 2007 Volume 25 Reassessing the Judean Desert Caves: Libraries, Archives, Genizas and Hiding Places STEPHEN PFANN In December 1952, five years after the discovery of Qumran cave 1, Roland de Vaux connected its manuscript remains to the nearby site of Khirbet Qumran when he found one of the unique cylindrical jars, typical of cave 1Q, embedded in the floor of the site. The power of this suggestion was such that, from that point on, as each successive Judean Desert cave containing first-century scrolls was discovered, they, too, were assumed to have originated from the site of Qumran. Even the scrolls discovered at Masada were thought to have arrived there by the hands of Essene refugees. Other researchers have since proposed that certain teachings within the scrolls of Qumran’s caves provide evidence for a sect that does not match that of the Essenes described by first-century writers such as Josephus, Philo and Pliny. These researchers prefer to call this group ‘the Qumran Community’, ‘the Covenanters’, ‘the Yahad ’ or simply ‘sectarians’. The problem is that no single title sufficiently covers the doctrines presented in the scrolls, primarily since there is a clear diversity in doctrine among these scrolls.1 In this article, I would like to present a challenge to this monolithic approach to the understanding of the caves and their scroll collections. This reassessment will be based on a close examination of the material culture of the caves (including ceramics and fabrics) and the palaeographic dating of the scroll collections in individual caves.

  • Harakevet Issue 18
    ISSUE: 18 September 1992 ISSN 0964-8763 A Quarterly Journal on the Railways of the Middle East Edited and Published by Rabbi Walter Rothschild, 9 Primley Gardens, Leeds LS 17 7HT. England 18:1 "Kilometre 0" - the datum post for all line measurements at Haifa Esat station in July 1992, as Esslingen 0-6-OD No. 221 (in new livery) hauls containers from the port past the doomed semaphores. 18: 2 EDITORIAL Welcome to Issue 18. It has caused me problems, but for good reasons — that is to say, there is such a lot happening at the moment on the railways of the Middle East, and especially in Israel, that I could have filled the magazine wholly with current events. However, the aim is to make each issue as balanced as possible with the material available - so despite the lengthy reports on the modernisation and expansion of Israel Railways and the welcome reactivation of the Carmelit, there are historical items and expansion of earlier topics. This issue is due out in September 1992 - exactly one hundred years since the opening of the first railway in what is now Israel, that from Jaffa to Jerusalem. Alas, it is not yet clear what celebrations are being organised, apart from the issue of commemorative postage stamps, but I hope to bring out a special issue soon to mark the occasion. For now — let us take heart that the system in Israel is looking healthier than for many a long year, let us note with sadness that the Hedjaz system appears to be on its last legs (or wheels), and let us hope that the next hundred years are as interesting <though hopefully less violent) than the last hundred years have been.

A total of twenty-seven species were determined from nine scale insect families: Asterolecaniidae (3 species), Coccidae (3), Di- aspididae (7), Eriococcidae (3), Kermesidae (6), Kuwaniidae (1), Mono- phlebidae (1), Pseudococcidae (2), and Putoidae (1). Six of these species represent new records for Israel and five are identified to the genus level. Kuwaniidae is a new family record for Israel. Species that were previously collected or recorded on oaks in Israel are listed and discussed. Information is given about host trees and global distribution. The majority of the spe- cies reported here are monophagous or stenophagous and they appear to be non-pestiferous to the oak trees in Israel. General traits that describe each scale insect family in the field are provided, together with an identification key to aid in the determination of slide-mounted specimens into families represented in this study. KEY WORDS: Scale insect, Coccoidea, oak trees, Quercus, forest, survey, monophagous, univoltine, Mediterranean, Israel INTRODUCTION The genus Quercus (Fagaceae) has a rich and diverse arthropod fauna associated with it (Southwood, 1961; Southwood et al., 2005).
