  **********************************************************
  "Crossing Borders" is an opportunity to explore the enduring impact of
  Egypt, Canaan and Israel, and to examine the historical core of the
  traditions which still resonate in our society today.  Despite a jumble of
  cultures and borders separating them, these lands were linked by roads,
  sea, trade, war, culture, and mythic moments.   Six well-known 
  archaeologists, biblical scholars and Egyptologists will present their
  latest thinking in a lecture format interspersed with discussions,
questions, 
  and social activities. Advance registration is strongly recommended.
