SUMMARY:Gems at the J | The Deep Dig of Petra
DESCRIPTION:With Dr. Stephen Phillips \nWhat do Moses\, Aaron\, Trajan\, and Indiana Jones all have in common?\nAnswer: Petra.\nNestled in a rugged mountainous basin in southwest Jordan lies the magnificent ruins of the ancient city of Petra\, named in 2007 as one of the “New Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.”\n2\,000 years ago\, Petra was the capital of the Nabataeans\, an Arab people you will meet\, who at the time dominated the incense and spice trade routes crisscrossing the Arabian Peninsula.\nPetra is famous for its more than 800 hand hewn monuments\, carved into the pink sandstone cliffs\, some soaring up to 150 feet\, an inspiration for works by modern artists\, poets\, and even movie directors. A rock-cut theater could seat about 8500 people\, the remains of Petra’s commercial center litter the hillsides\, and evidence of sophisticated water hydrology impresses even today.\n5/20\, Part 1: first orients you to Jordan and Petra itself\, both ancient and modern. You also will experience a first-hand virtual tour of Petra’s major monuments.\n5/27\, Part 2: covers the Nabataeans\, the indigenous people who built an empire in the Arabian Peninsula and thrived at Petra for centuries.\n6/3\, Part 3: Dr. Steve takes you behind the scenes on an actual archaeological excavation at Petra’s “Temple of the Winged Lions\,” where he served as an Area Supervisor for the 1992 summer season\, his first excavation experience ever.\n6/10\, Part 4: Dr. Steve takes you on a tour of the area around Petra to little-known\, “off the beaten track\,” archaeological sites that few ever get to visit\, and to close\, visit the Bedouin village where we lived for two months.\nThe Penn Museum Tour will be the morning of 6/24\, separate registration required.\nCome\, join us on this amazing adventure in Jordan! Is archaeology anything at all like Indiana Jones? There is a tie in! \nClick here to register!

SUMMARY:Gems at the J | Political Affairs
DESCRIPTION:With Bill Rosenberg \nJoin us for another informative round of Political Affairs with Dr. Bill Rosenberg.\nApril 23\, 2026 Mayor Mamdani and Rank Order Voting.\nInstead of selecting a single candidate\, a voter ranks multiple candidates in order of preference. If a candidate is selected as the first-choice candidate by more than 50% of voters\, they win. But if not\, the ranked choice process kicks in. This has important implications in elections involving multiple candidates. \nMay 7\, 2026 How Do Algorithms influence Our Media Feeds and Our Political Views.\nSocial Media outlets use algorithms to choose what appears in our social media feeds based on our likes and previous viewing. This then develops the basis of our view of the world. \nMay 28\, 2026 What Countries are in the Axis of Good and Evil In Politics Today? How Has this Changed Over Time?\nThe Axis powers often has referred to Germany\, Japan and Italy during WWII. Since then the terminology has shifted by our leaders to be a different set of governments today including Russia\, China\, Iran\, and North Korea. However\, countries other than the US have their own list of belligerents. \nJune 11\, 2026 US Immigration History and the Politics of 2026.\nThe US has had a complex relationship since our origins with immigration. At times the gates have been more open or closed to various groups\, often tied to politics\, economics and discrimination. \nClick here to register!

In 1988 he obtained his Private Detective license and formed Confidential Investigative Services in 1991. In 1998 he became interested in his family history. He was able to locate his ancestors dating back to 1810. To date he has identified over 1200 family members. With the knowledge he obtained\, in 2005 he decided to volunteer for the International Red Cross Holocaust Tracing Service\, to try to assist the IRC reconnect Jewish\, Polish and Ukrainian Holocaust survivors. In 2006 he was awarded the local and national “Volunteer of the Year” Award from the IRC. In 2011\, Fred also started to volunteer for the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
