A7 Radio's "LandMinds with Barnea and David" with LandMinds

In our first segment we meet David Zwebner. David was named after his uncle - one of the "Lamed Heh " - the 35 who were massacred in their attempt to bring aid and support to the Gush Etzion block during the War of Independence. David shares his unique view of Israel - from within and without - both as a successful business man and as a licensed tour guide. This is a personal glimpse into Israel that is not often shared to the broader world that you won't want to miss.

 

In our second hour, we meet botanist Dr. Jon Greenberg. Dr. Greenberg is the founder of Torah Flora - which is devoted to the study of plants and nature in Torah and Jewish tradition. You will be fascinated by this glimpse into the botany of the Bible and we invite you to listen in to this special interview. For more about Torah Flora, please visit their website at www.torahflora.org.
