Two great "Tanach tiyulim" opportunities this coming
week

This Coming Wednesday, November 21st, (full day)

פלשתים- Philistines or Sophisticates? 

with Shulie Mishkin (M.A. - Jewish History, Licensed
Tour Guide)

We will recapture the lost world of the Philistines, the
most persistent enemy of the Jews in the time of the
Judges and early kings. Through visits to the major
Philistine cities of Ashdod and Ashkelon (one of the
richest tels in the area) we will learn how these expert
warriors had an exciting and varied culture. Along the
way we encounter other groups who came through Israel,
including the Canaanites, Assyrians, Romans and
Crusaders. We will end the day at Tel Azeikah where we
will see how the Jews and the Philistines differed.

Power and Prophecy in the Judean Desert

with Shani Taragin - Rosh Bet Midrash - Midreshet
Lindenbaum and Shulie Mishkin (M.A. - Jewish History,
Licensed Tour Guide)

Follow in the footsteps of Israel's evocative and humble
prophet, Amos of Tekoa. We will ascend to the top of
Herodion to imbibe the breathtaking views of Amos'
village and use the landscapes to understand his imagery
as well as his prophecies. Afterwards we will explore
Herodion, the mountain fortress which some consider one
of King Herod's most extraordinary achievements. Amos
and Herod - can two such opposites walk together?
