Andrew Lawler: Under Jerusalem

Sponsored by Elaine (z"l) & Bart Greenspan/ Miriam & Stan Meltzer

Under Jerusalem: The Buried History of the Worlds Most Contested City

Under Jerusalem is an intrigu­ing resource for those inter­est­ed in learn­ing what lies beneath the mod­ern city and how those find­ings affect today’s polit­i­cal and social land­scape. Its sto­ries lie in lay­ers, many of which have been undis­turbed for cen­turies. Lawler presents a cast of char­ac­ters and a pro­gres­sion of events that build one on anoth­er, much like the archae­o­log­i­cal lay­ers them­selves, and the dis­cov­er­ies he shows us beguile and amaze.
