Throughout history, the natural world has filled people with awe and wonder. The Bible abounds with references to the natural world, reflecting a time when mankind's direct encounter with nature was an integral part of everyday life.
The Biblical Museum of Natural History in Beit Shemesh offers an interactive, hands-on experience of the natural world of the Bible, making the text come alive, unlocking much of its beauty and symbolism, and instilling a deeper appreciation for the land of Israel.
In this episode of Israel Hayom Insider, host Steve Ganot speaks with the founder and director of the Biblical Museum of Natural History, Rabbi Dr. Natan Slifkin.
