summer workshop, Israelis
have begun to take opera
more seriously. "Vocal arts
went from zero to 1,000 dur-
ing these past nine years," says
Fagie Zimmerman, self-pro-
claimed "Queen Bee" and
clinic administrator. "The fact
that 14 of our students have
been accepted over the years
to major opera houses like the
Met and the Vienna
Staatsoper testifies to the suc-
cess of this program."
Fine-tuning Israeli talent,
however, is a Catch 22.
Nearly all of the exceptionally
talented leave the country to
refine their voices and join
opera companies in Europe or
the United States. Mr. Sedov,
who moved to Israel in 1991
from his native St. Petersburg,
is beginning his second year
in the Met's celebrated train-
ing program. Designated for
Americans, Mr. S-..•dov is only
the fourth foreigner accepted
to that opera house's Young
Artists Program, and he will
be singing small roles in six
shows this year.

A jug containing several kilo-
grams of silver buried under a
courtyard some 3,000 years
ago, was found in the 1996
excavations at Tel Dor, con-
ducted under the auspices of
the Hebrew University
Institute of Archaeology.
The discovery is helping to
shed new light on the econo-
my in the Iron age I period
(1200-1000 BCE, or approxi-
mately from the time of
Joshua to King David).
ti
The city of Dor, located on
the Mediterranean coast some
30 kilometers south of Haifa,
was a bustling ancient port
and trading community.
Excavations of the site, head-
ed by Ephraim Stern, have
been going on since 1980 and
have revealed extensive evi-
dence of development and
destruction, raging from the
period of the Canaanites and
on through the Phoenician,
