My visit to Tel Lachish<\/a> is still fresh in my memory. It was an exciting three days, action packed and exciting. Such a busy time, in fact, that I was unable to sit with Professor Garfinkel for an interview on site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first day, there was a lot of setting up to do to kick off the week. There was also a youth team which needed introductions to the site, a visitor group, and finally hosting a private tour with Professor David Ussishkin<\/a>. The next two days were no less busy. Numerous visitors and groups including VIPs and Israel Antiquities Authorities representatives. All that is on on top of the second to last week of the digging season, which means a lot of work recording the finds, bringing down the ramps, and preparing for preservation of the site until next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We finally caught up on a beautiful Friday morning (July 29, 2916), at YMCA in Jerusalem<\/a>. If you haven’t been there, or sat at their cafe, it is recommended. Great vibe, beautiful architecture and a nice view of the King David<\/a> hotel. Without further due, let us begin the interview:<\/p>\n\n\n
