Subject: Archaeology of Jews
HISTARCHers,
In my other life, I'm a member of the Adult Education Committee at
Congregation Shomrei Torah -- a synagogue in Santa Rosa, California.
Recently, while delirious with the flu, our rabbi asked me to do a
presentation on *something to do with Jews and archaeology.* Thus
was born
the idea of *The Archaeology of Jews in North America and the
Caribbean,*
a lecture/slide show due to premiere in March.
Several colleagues have generously offered slides of their research:
Skip
S-Abernathy in Arkansas, Becky Yamin on Five Points NY, and Michelle
Terrell on the disappearing synagogue of Nevis. In addition, I have
a site
in Sacramento that will fit in nicely. However, there's room for a
couple
more examples in the presentation.
So, if you know of an archaeological site in North America with:
- strong Jewish associations,
- an interesting story that will appeal to the general public,
- and, above all, GOOD VISUALS,
please let me know.
Thanks to all,
Adrian Praetzellis
