I traveled recently to the Bible Lands Museum in Jerusalem, where the stories of the Bible were brought to life via the latest archaeological finds in the region. The museum was established by Batya and Dr. Ellie Borowski, who fought with the French Army against the Nazis and who lost his entire family in the Holocaust. “Devastated by the loss of his family during the Holocaust, Dr. Borowski felt there was no point in art and music, poetry and literature if they could not provide people with the moral courage to withstand injustice and barbarism,” I learned.
