This page will ultimately contain four hour-long lectures by Mr. Simon on the Israel of the Bible. You will not find a better, easier to understand lecture series on the geography and history of the region. Mr. Simon is adept at presenting a very complex subject in a very understandable fashion. He begins in the first lecture below, by explaining the geography of the area and how the geography determined its crucial role in thousands of years of history.
The remaining lectures will cover the history of Israel from ancient times up to the current events which are covered on the following pages of this menu tab.

Most people do not understand the history of this region or the implications it holds for the entire world. Mr. Simon is truly adept at presenting this history in a way that makes it understandable and accessible to everyone.
We are fortunate that Mr. Simon was tour guide for my wife and me on our recent visit to Israel and that he gave me permission to post from materials which I purchased there on this web site.
