ISSN 1065-9366 (print), 2168-3158 (online) Abstract Seasoned archaeologist Jeffrey R. Chadwick responds to studies done by Warren Aston (see page 8), Richard Wellington and George Potter (see page 26), and Kent Brown (see page 44) pertaining to the trail that the Book of Mormon prophet Lehi took after fleeing Jerusalem. Chadwick uses his archaeological, histori- cal, and scriptural knowledge to comment on the claims made by the other scholars. He specifically ana- lyzes Lehi’s life in Jerusalem, the route Lehi took from Jerusalem to the Red Sea, the Valley of Lemuel, the route from Shazer to Nahom, the route from Nahom to Bountiful, and the building of the ship at Bountiful. Streambed in a Yemen wadi.

    Directions to Biblical Tamar Park Address Biblical Tamar Park Ir Ovot D. N. Arava 86805 ISRAEL Supervisor’s phone 052-426-0266 Directions to BTP by Train and Bus from Ben Gurion Airport After exiting customs at Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv, you will be on the ground level. Take a left after you pass through the people waiting to pick up other passengers. (Take a right to exchange some money if you need to do that first. You can also rent cell phones in this area.) After taking the left, follow the signs to the train station. You will take a right at airport exit #3. Go through the doors and down the hallway. Off to your left, you will see the turnstiles for the train. Walk through that opening in the hallway, before the turnstiles, off to your left is the ticket window. Go to the ticket window and ask for a ticket to Beersheva Central. (Note: If the train is not running for some unknown reason, you will have to take the bus instead. Have someone direct you to the bus stop and take the bus to the Central Bus Station, where you can get a ticket to Tamar like you would at Beersheva.) The train ticket price should be around 32 shekels. You have to change trains once, and they may mention this to you when you buy the ticket. Just tell them you know you have to change trains. Then, proceed to the turnstiles just before the stairs or escalator. You need to put your train ticket through a machine to activate the turnstile.

The main livelihood here is agriculture: we grow hothouse bell peppers, dates, melons, tomatoes, tropical fish, algae and cows and goats’ milk - to name just a few of our products - Tel-Aviv which is why we are on the cutting edge of advanced agriculture in arid conditions. In addition, we are situated further from Israel’s center than any other region. This distance results in - or perhaps attracts - creativity and ingenuity and an unconventional mindset. Here you will meet artists and crafters, owners of unique businesses, practitioners of a myriad of therapies, facilitators of workshops for every age group and interest, a cultural landscape Jerusalem that combines professional with “home-grown”, and quality education and community.

    1 Frankincense, Myrrh, and Balm of Gilead: Ancient Spices of Southern Arabia and Judea Shimshon Ben-Yehoshua Emeritus, Department of Postharvest Science Volcani Center Agricultural Research Organization Bet Dagan, 50250 Israel Carole Borowitz Bet Ramat Aviv Tel Aviv, 69027 Israel Lumır Ondrej Hanusˇ Institute of Drug Research School of Pharmacy Faculty of Medicine Hebrew University Ein Kerem, Jerusalem, 91120 Israel ABSTRACT Ancient cultures discovered and utilized the medicinal and therapeutic values of spices and incorporated the burning of incense as part of religious and social ceremonies. Among the most important ancient resinous spices were frankin- cense, derivedCOPYRIGHTED from Boswellia spp., myrrh, derived MATERIAL from Commiphoras spp., both from southern Arabia and the Horn of Africa, and balm of Gilead of Judea, derived from Commiphora gileadensis. The demand for these ancient spices was met by scarce and limited sources of supply. The incense trade and trade routes Horticultural Reviews, Volume 39, First Edition. Edited by Jules Janick.

HANUSˇ were developed to carry this precious cargo over long distances through many countries to the important foreign markets of Egypt, Mesopotamia, Persia, Greece, and Rome. The export of the frankincense and myrrh made Arabia extremely wealthy, so much so that Theophrastus, Strabo, and Pliny all referred to it as Felix (fortunate) Arabia. At present, this export hardly exists, and the spice trade has declined to around 1,500 tonnes, coming mainly from Somalia; both Yemen and Saudi Arabia import rather than export these frankincense and myrrh.

  • Israel 2018 International Religious Freedom Report
    ISRAEL 2018 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary This section includes Israel, including Jerusalem. In December 2017, the United States recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. It is the position of the United States that the specific boundaries of Israeli sovereignty in Jerusalem are subject to final status negotiations between the parties. The Palestinian Authority (PA) exercises no authority over Jerusalem. In March 2019, the United States recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights. A report on the West Bank and Gaza, including areas subject to the jurisdiction of the PA, is appended at the end of this report. The country’s laws and Supreme Court rulings protect the freedoms of conscience, faith, religion, and worship, regardless of an individual’s religious affiliation, and the 1992 “Basic Law: Human Dignity and Liberty” protects additional individual rights. Citing a need to anchor the country’s Jewish character in a basic law, on June 19, the Knesset passed the “Basic Law: Israel – The Nation State of the Jewish People.” According to the government, the “law determines, among other things, that the Land of Israel is the historical homeland of the Jewish people; the State of Israel is the nation state of the Jewish People, in which it realizes its natural, cultural, religious and historical right to self-determination; and exercising the right to national self-determination in the State of Israel is unique to the Jewish People.” Druze leaders, other non-Jewish minorities, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) criticized the new law for not mentioning the principle of equality to prevent harm to the rights of minorities.
