ANNOUNCEMENTS
Volunteers needed for an Archeological Expedition in the Judaean Desert
An expedition headed by Archeologist Mr. Haim Cohen and on behalf of the "Zinman Institute for Archeology" of the Haifa University, is once again embarking on an excavation of the "Pool Cave" in Ein Gedi, in the framework of "Origin Discovery Project" (O.D.P).
The expedition is designated to begin excavating this October.
Volunteers are needed, who must be over the age 18 and in good physical health (the climb on the ridge and the excavation work require some physical stamina). Minimal timeframe of participation: no less than 5 days. Due to the extensive expenses, volunteers are required to contribute to their daily expenses, i.e. food and lodging.
For further details and enrollment please contact the Expedition Coordinator:
