Meeting with Partners
The end of summer was also the time to discover new faces. We had the pleasure of welcoming our partners, the directors of the French Institutes in Gaza and Jerusalem, as well as the Secretary General of the SCAC. On the eve of the start of the academic year, they were able to visit all the study and research departments, including the library, which make the EBAF famous and special.
A studious but eventful start to the new school year
On the evening of the first day of the 2024-2025 academic year, geopolitics came to remind us that in the Holy Land, the history of salvation was made up of contrasts. After praying vespers with the brothers and sharing dinner in the shelter, the morning light saw the students come out for the first topography class organized by Brother Yunus. Deciphering the signs of falls and rises is an integral part of the EBAF’s mission: library work, topographical outings, courses and conferences continue in compliance with safety instructions. The school continues its teaching and research activities thanks to the commitment of all.
Thank you to all those who faithfully support us in these circumstances and allow us to contribute to the common good.
EBAF: Keep going on despite the war
In wartime Gaza, our collaborator Fadel al-Utol, trained in archaeology and restoration by the EBAF, provided training in heritage preservation in September 2024. Young students from various universities learned and deepened different techniques for preserving archaeological sites and documentation. Their bond to their heritage, developed over many years of collaboration, has only been strengthened during the conflict.
Help students have this unique experience: study the Bible and archeology in the field, continue researching, writing while contributing to the life of the communities of the Holy Land.
