Celebrating Hannukah with Dr. Rona Avissar-Lewis

Mechina alumni celebrated Hannukah together, enjoying dinner and a fascinating lecture about Hannukah from an archaeological perspective by Dr. Avissar-Lewis. After the lecture, we toured Nachlaot, a unique neighborhood in Jerusalem, and experienced Jerusalem by menorah candlelight.

We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Dr. Avissar-Lewis, our Archaeology professor at the Mechina, for winning the Bahat Prize. This prize will allow her to publish her book, Early Children: An Archaeological Perspective on Boys and Girls in the Land of Israel During the Biblical Period. Congratulations!


The Bahat Prize, named after the late Prof. Yaakov Bahat, one of the founding faculty members of the Department of Comparative Hebrew Literature at the University of Haifa, is awarded by the University of Haifa Publishing House and The Professor Yaakov Bahat Foundation. The prestigious prize is awarded for quality, original, non-fiction manuscripts in Hebrew that have not been published previously and which have a potentially large popular audience.
