  • 2013-2014 ( Dr
    Nelson Glueck School of Biblical Archaeology - 2013-2014 (www.ngsba.org) Dr. David Ilan, director The NGSBA currently employs two full-time archaeologists (Dr. David Ilan and Dr. Yifat Thareani), one part-time researcher and administrator (Levana Zias) and one part-time illustrator (Noga Zeevi). Other functions are now farmed out on a contractual basis, when needed. Below is a brief summary of our activities for the past academic year. • Tel Dan publication. This is, once again, the main focus of our work, occupying the majority of our time and energy. The Dan IV and Dan V volumes have been rescheduled for publication by the end of the current year. Dan IV (the Early Iron Age - David Ilan) will be the largest volume we have ever published. Dan V (The Middle Bronze Age fortifications and Mudbrick Gate) will be the last volume written (in part) by Avraham Biran. Dan VII (the Iron Age II domestic contexts) is currently in preparation by Yifat Thareani, with an anticipated publication date of 2015. Work on Dan VII is financed by a $25,000, 3-year grant, awarded by the White-Levy Publication Program of Harvard University (this is the last year). Levana Zias continues preparing the Hellenistic and Roman levels for publication (Possibly as Dan VIII). She has made some startling new discoveries about the Hellenistic period temple, which it now seems bears a remarkable similarity to the Samaritan Temple on Mt. Gerizim. • Conservation work at Tel Dan. Last year we received a grant of $35,000 to expedite a small conservation project of an early Iron Age sanctuary and the recycling metallurgy installations at Tel Dan.

  • Day 4 Monday March 7 2022 Jesus Boat/Museum Capernaum St
    Day 4 Monday March 7 2022 Jesus Boat/Museum Capernaum St. Peters Fish Korazim Tabgha Primacy of Peter Church Jesus Boat The Sea of Galilee Boat, also known as the Jesus Boat, was an ancient fishing boat from the 1st century AD, discovered in 1986 on the north-west shore of the Sea of Galilee in Israel. The remains of the boat, 27 feet (8.27 meters) long, 7.5 feet (2.3 meters) wide and with a maximum preserved height of 4.3 feet (1.3 meters), first appeared during a drought, when the waters of the Sea (actually a great fresh-water lake) receded. Moshe and Yuval Lufan, brothers and fishermen from Kibbutz Ginosar, discovered the Ancient Galilee Boat buried in the mud near the shore of the Sea of Galilee. The discovery of the boat rocked the archeological and spiritual world. Never before was such an ancient vessel found so complete. Once the boat was positively dated to the First Century BCE, pilgrims from around the world flocked to view the boat on which could have been the very same vessel on which Jesus sailed the Sea of Galilee. There is no evidence connecting the boat to Jesus or his disciples. It may have functioned as a ferry boat, but its measurements also suit those used by ancient fishermen employing a seine, or dragnet, "cast into the sea" as described in Matthew 13:47-48. Boat Ride Nof Ginnosar to Capernaum To truly experience the Sea of Galilee a boat ride is a must! We take the boats at the Ancient Boat Museum.

  • The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem Revisited [2Nd Edition]
    THE BIRTH OF THE PALESTINIAN REFUGEE PROBLEM REVISITED Benny Morris’ The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem, 1947–1949, was first published in 1988. Its startling reve- lations about how and why 700,000 Palestinians left their homes and became refugees during the Arab–Israeli war in 1948 undermined the conflicting Zionist and Arab interpreta- tions; the former suggesting that the Palestinians had left voluntarily, and the latter that this was a planned expulsion. The book subsequently became a classic in the field of Middle East history. The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem Revisited represents a thoroughly revised edition of the earlier work, compiled on the basis of newly opened Israeli military archives and intelligence documentation. While the focus of the book remains the 1948 war and the analysis of the Palestinian exodus, the new material con- tains more information about what actually happened in Jerusalem, Jaffa and Haifa, and how events there eventually led to the collapse of Palestinian urban society. It also sheds light on the battles, expulsions and atrocities that resulted in the disintegration of the rural communities. The story is a harrowing one. The refugees now number some four million and their existence remains one of the major obstacles to peace in the Middle East. Benny Morris is Professor of History in the Middle East Studies Department, Ben-Gurion University.He is an outspo- ken commentator on the Arab–Israeli conflict, and is one of Israel’s premier revisionist historians. His publications include Righteous Victims: A History of the Zionist–Arab Conflict, 1881–2001 (2001), and Israel’s Border Wars, 1949–56 (1997).
