Dr. Ran Ortner is the first choice professional Israel guide for academics. After completing his PhD at Bar Ilan University under Prof. Ze'ev Safrai, he completed post-doctoral work with Martin Goodman at Oxford. He has given academic presentations on the history and archaeology of Jerusalem and the Jewish revolt against Rome in academic and community settings.
Dr. Ortner is an engaging speaker who takes you on an archaeological and historical journey to Gamla, Jerusalem, and the Judean lowlands bringing to vivid life the clash of civilizations between the Roman Empire and the Jewish people. This is original and cutting-edge research into urban warfare during the first revolt which reveals tunnel structures and underground Jerusalem. The physical evidence on location gives meaning and application to archaeology, theology, and the Bible.
Fraternally yours,
Brad H. Young, PhD
