9-11/1/2023 Hosted by CSoC in collaboration with the Africa Center in BGU and Bar-Ilan University. For photos, click here. The unique program combined studies in history and organizational sociology, experts in Judaism and Christianity and researchers of the animistic cultures of the Incas and Yoruba, investigators of archaeology and magic, and activists from the field of sustainability. Every session ended with a lively conversation! BGU was represented with honor by CSoC's five fellows: Dr. Ophir Weinshall-Shachar, Dr. Bat-ami Artzi, Dr. Yiftach Ashkenazi, Dr. Gal Sofer, and Mr. Sam Glauber-Zimra. Rector Prof. Chaim Hames and Head of the School of Sustainability and Climate Change, Prof. Yaron Ziv, and CSoC’s director Prof. Daniella Talmon-Heller, welcomed the participants and noted the importance of dealing with the environment and environmental ethics in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. The conference ended with a tour of the Dead Sea region. Nadav Tal, a water expert from the EcoPeace Middle East organization, gave an in-depth overview of the ecological disaster inherent in the drying of the sea and the contamination of water sources. The group hiked along Nahal Bokek (which underwent a process of restoration after pollution) and watched the baptism of pilgrims in the Jordan River at the Kasr al-Yahud site, while talking about the religious importance of the Jordan River, and the great potential of regional and inter-religious cooperation to save the region's rare natural resources and cultural assets. |

CSoC's field trip within our 2022-2023 annual seminar:
14/02/2023 Thanks to CSoC steering Committee Member, Dr. Yana Tchekhanovets from the Bible Studies, Archeology and the Ancient Near East department in BGU, for arranging such a successful trip. Two cities full of religious structures - churches, both flourished in the Byzantine-Umayyad period. Nessana, where digging started this summer, is the last point in the Holy Land, from where the road to Sinai began, to the monastery of St. Catherine. In Nessana, the pilgrims waited for the organization of the caravans to the desert path, and it developed thanks to the Pilgrimage. This relatively small site, a village after all, has 6 churches known to us today, and we discussed the desert and the book, windy land versus wild land, and pilgrimages in extreme climatic conditions. Important interdisciplinary studies were done in Shivta in recent years regarding the Byzantine-Islamic transition, climate change, etc. The archeological tour took us through the well-preserved buildings there. |
