11 VOLVO with kindness perspectives deeply rooted in Torah scholarship. The group decided, as they brainstormed potential kindness programs, that they will continue to learn together in Detroit. Live It The Kindness ambassadors had the opportunity to participate in many acts of kindness, including sponsoring and manning stations at a carnival for disadvantaged chil- dren at the Bialik/Rogozin school in Tel Aviv; painting sports court and playground murals at schools and matnas (community centers); providing moral support and kind- ness visits to the disadvantaged and elderly at Yad LaKashish, Jerusalem; cleaning used medical equipment at Yad Sarah, Jerusalem; accompany- ing medical clowns sporting their own clown paraphernalia on visits to children's wards at Shaare Zedek Hospital, Jerusalem; harvesting more than 400 pounds of tomatoes for 200 needy families of Leket Israel at Beit HaCramim, which rescues thou- sands of tons of agricultural crops left to rot at the end of each season. The journey, subsidized by Partners in Torah, marked a life- changing experience for all; each came home with the resolve to assist the Kindness Project in making our community (and our world) a kinder place to build our lives.

A s modern Egypt endures political upheaval, Israeli archaeologists have found evidence of an ancient Egyptian leader in northern Israel. At a site in Tel Hazor National Park, north of the Sea of Galilee, archeologists from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have unearthed part of a unique Sphinx belonging to one of the ancient pyramid- building pharaohs. The Hazor Excavations are headed by Professor Amnon Ben-Tor, the Yigael Yadin Professor in the Archaeology of Eretz Israel at the Hebrew University's Institute of Archaeology, and Dr. Sharon Zuckerman, a lecturer at the Hebrew University's Institute of Archaeology. Working with a team from the Institute of Archaeology, they discovered part of a Sphinx brought over from Egypt, with a hieroglyphic inscription between its front legs. The inscription bears the name of the Egyptian king Mycerinus, who ruled in the third millennium B.C.E., more than 4,000 years ago. The king was one of the builders of the famous Giza pyramids. Along with the king's name, the hiero- glyphic inscription includes the descriptor "Beloved by the divine manifestation ... that gave him eternal life." According to Ben-Tor and Zuckerman, this text indicates that the Sphinx probably originated in the ancient city of Heliopolis (the city of 'On' in the Bible), north of modern Cairo. The statue was likely brought to Israel in the second millennium BCE during the dynasty of the kings known as the Hyksos, who originated in Canaan. It could also have arrived during the 15th to 13th centuries B.C.E., when Canaan was under Egyptian rule, as a gift from an Egyptian king to the king of Hazor, which was the most important city in the southern Levant at the time. ❑ 24 month lease New 2013 Volvo XC60 T-6 AWD equipped with moonroof , leather, keyless drive, metallic paint, power tailgate and rear camera.
