   The message of the war led by Devorah and Barak is the responsibility of the minority, who break through the indifference and decide to act.

2. Sefer Shofetim: Archaeology

   Nachliel Selavan | 30 minutes

   Sefer Shofetim deals with Iron Age I - the ~200 year transitional period between entering the Land (and the collapse of the Late Bronze Age) - and the first Kingdom in Israel. 

   This episode features an overview of the Sefer, and highlights the Battle of Sisera and the important locations around it, as well as a relevant winery. It also covers Shimson (Samson) and the Philistines, and another relevant winery.

   The Philistines are an important topic, and Nachliel has been on some of the excavations to Biblical Gath (Tell es-Safi), where he participated for a few days in the dig, and also interviewed Prof. Aren Maeir of Bar Ilan University, Prof. Jill Katz of Stern College - Yeshiva University, and a few other archaeologists. He also transcribed those interviews and visited the Museum of Philistine Culture.
