Scholar-In-Residence

The Scholar-in-Residence program is sponsored each year through the generosity of Marsha Lee and Norman Berkman. Their devotion to Jewish education is an inspiration and a gift to us all.

Our Scholar-in-Residence this year was Patrick Hunt.  Patrick Hunt is named in Who’s Who in Biblical Studies and Archaeology (1993). One of his primary archaeology books of 2007 is titled Ten Discoveries That Rewrote History. Patrick has followed several of his life-long dreams - archaeologist, writer, historian – while teaching the last fifteen years at Stanford University. He has lived in London, Athens and Jerusalem.
