.Why should I care about rocks? MK Dr. Benny Begin shares his love of the land itself as a geologist. Benny explains the natural resources of the country, mankind's increasing understanding and adaptation of the geological environment we live in unique aspects of Israel, and even earthquake building codes- you will love this hour. We did not even get to discuss the Red-Dead project, King Hezekiah's Tunnel, and Benny's breakthrough of the Lachish Ostracon #4 riddle- we'll have to have him back! Make sure you hear the last few minutes of the second segment - Dr. Begin's appreciation of connecting to our ancient history shines through.
Chancellor Yigal Cohen Orgad shares Ariel University Center's unique educational vision. Learn about advancing Israel's economy and defense, healthcare industry, and its very social fabric. The Free Electron Laser, the recent ousting of AUC's contestants in the international solar home competition, and more - we'll have to have him back as well! See http://www.ariel.ac.il/site/
Samaria - Shomron is Israel's heartland, oft ignored, is at the heart of current politics, and the main route of Genesis characters. Barnea and Dovid manage to just scratch the surface of its significance. We banter about tonight's iPhone release in a broader context. Shalom Mayorkas of Orange (shalomtamar2@gmail.com) points out it is the first time all Israeli cellphone companies worked together in a release.
To hear earlier broadcasts, join Foundation Stone tours and projects, like the regular Friday Second Temple tour; and perhaps to kindly share in this work before year's end, please enjoy what you find at www.foundationstone.org; info@foundationstone.org.
Happy Chanukah from Dovid and Barnea!
