LECTURE ON KETEF HINNOM:
Villanova professor to discuss archaeological work in Israel

FROM [TOLEDO] BLADE STAFF

Judith Hadley, a professor of biblical archaeology at Villanova University, will give a free public lecture about her recent excavations in Israel tomorrow in the Temple-Congregation Shomer Emunim in Sylvania.

If you're in Toledo, it sounds well worth hearing.
