.Acting on his own love of the land Arieh King established Israel Land Fund to enable Jews throughout the world to own their personal piece of the land of Israel. The process and challenges are fascinating; a window to a new and leading activist's world. See www.israelandfund.com.
Hot off the Press! Dr Lisa Aiken privately published The Family Guide to Touring Israel, and Barnea got one of the very first copies handed to him on his way to the studio! The internationally acclaimed author and lecturer got an Israeli tour guide license to boot,and then spent 3 years working on this book to make it easier for families to plan and enjoy Israel. There are even directions how to get directions! We discuss Lisa's favorite spots. Write to Lisa at lisaaiken@ymail.com.
Dovid & Barnea rap about making Jewish education more effective. The DTM (De'Ara Tanach Map) is a fantastic new satellite map made specifically for teaching Tanach in the classroom. At 3meters x 1meter (10x3feet) it shows the land of Israel as you've never seen it before. See http://www.foundationstone.
"You are eighteen years old and an ignoramus! " Thus Joey Mizrachi's grandfather sent him on a quest to find a better path in Jewish Education, which produced Barkai Brooklyn, starting with 12 students in a living room and now with over 400 students on a campus. Joey continues to teach in different forums. We discuss his visceral and insightful personal reactions as his family's book club reads "Exodus " by Leon Uris. Hold on to to your seats - this is from the sharpest interviews we ever had! Joey directs www.weareflowers.com.
Next week - a surprise MK is scheduled to join us to discuss scientific work and a geological perspective on the land, featuring Jericho, Lachish and Azeka. His interview is scheduled for 5:00 and barring a sudden Knesset vote you will want to tune in live for that and more!
