Rabbi Gabrielle Ignites A Tempest - Plot & Excerpts
Five of Itamar's colleagues had positioned themselves around a rectangular table, avoiding sustained conversations. By the time Gabby and Itamar arrived, the consultants had gotten over their surprise at discovering who else had been invited. In attendance were: Professor Thomas Dillingham, a Christian American holding the Guggenheim chair of archeology at the Hebrew University; Dr. Pincus Avraham, professor of ancient history at Tel Aviv University; Dr. Sarah Eisenhart, executive curator at the Israel Museum and a trustee of the Shrine of the Book; Rabbi Dr. Menachim Barak, professor of rabbinics at the Nelson Glueck School of Archeology at the Hebrew Union College; and Dr Daniel Stern, professor of ancient history and philosophy, Bar Elan University in Tel Aviv. Dr. Shmuel Navid, scientific director at the Antiquities Authority, formally greeted his colleagues in English because he knew Thomas Dillingham had not yet become fluent in Hebrew. Being a retiring man who disliked making speeches, he quickly turned the meeting over to Itamar, who surveyed those before him, including each individually, in his opening remarks.
