Travel Back in Time with Us
Our Education Department, with special guests from the Israel Antiquities Authority, has a full week of fun focused on the archaeology of Israel. Travel back in time to ancient Israel and try your hand at some of their crafts: make an oil lamp, mix perfumes, create unique pieces of art, and more. You'll also hear presentations on famous sites and discoveries related to the biblical world and the many people and cultures who have inhabited it. With special days for families and homeschoolers, as well as two special Lunch & Learns, there's something for everyone.
Look below to see the full week's activities, and click on the buttons to learn more about any one of them. Dig Deep: Archaeological Discoveries runs from October 12 to 16.
