Israeli beer expert Itai Gutman helped scientists from the
Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the Israel Antiquities Authority,
Tel Aviv University and Bar-Ilan University make the beer.

“By the way, the beer isn’t bad,” said Ronen Hazan, a microbi-
ologist from the School of Dental Medicine at Hebrew University.
“Aside from the gimmick of drinking beer from the time of King
Pharaoh, this research is extremely important to the field of exper-
imental archaeology — a field that seeks to reconstruct the past.”

The International Young Israel Movement sponsored 80 deaf

The ceremony occurred at the Nitzanim synagogue in the
Baka neighborhood.

In addition, the children visited the Western Wall and had a
tour presented in sign language.

New York-based poet-performer Douglas Ridloff participated
in the ceremony. Ridloff, who is deaf, attended on behalf of the
