Israel, Ancient to Modern
An evening with Professor Wayne Horowitz
and Mrs Lilach Horowitz
Tuesday 14 January 2025, 7pm, Auckland
We are honoured to have Professor Wayne Horowitz and Mrs Lilach Horowitz, in New Zealand. Professor Wayne co-convened the Indigenous Embassy Jerusalem Academic Symposium along with Dr Sheree Trotter in October. It was held at the Bible Lands Museum in Jerusalem and was highly successful.
Professor Wayne, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, is an archeologist and academic specializing in ancient Near East and Assyriology. He will discuss continuing Jewish life in Israel, from its inception, throughout the centuries. He will show how the Jewish people have kept ‘ahi kaa’, kept the fires of continuous presence in the land of Israel. Wayne will also discuss the ancient artefacts on display at the Auckland Museum, which relate to Israel’s history. Wayne has given several talks while in New Zealand and Kiwis have enjoyed his down-to-earth, personable and witty style.
Lilach Horowitz is a child trauma counsellor. She will discuss the important work she has been doing with children and youth since 7 October 2023.
This will be a riveting event, not to be missed.
