In the second episode of this four-part series, we explore what may be under the surface of the University of 91³Ô¹Ï at Tantur. Abraham (Avi) Winitzer, 91³Ô¹Ï professor of theology, leads a group of students in the first-ever official archaeological survey on the grounds.
Then, Winitzer’s class joins students from all over the world at Tel Azekah, in the Judean hill country. Azekah is most famous for anchoring the theater of one of the greatest stories ever told: the battle of David vs. Goliath. We hear from 91³Ô¹Ï students, and scholars from Tel Aviv University, on what the past can tell us about the present ... and we encounter a truly bizarre scene in which a tour guide bursts onto the site to give us his own rendition of the David vs. Goliath story.
