‘Jerusalem in Babylonia’Explored in Conference

SJU’s Ancient Studies program willwelcome six visiting scholars for a con-ference titled “Jerusalem in Babylonia:New Discoveries from the ExilicPeriod,” March 21 and 22. The event isco-sponsored by the University’sInstitute for Jewish-Catholic Relationsand the Department of Theology.

The conference will focus onrecently discovered documents from thefifth and sixth centuries BCE referred toas the “Al-Yahuda texts,” based on thename of the place where the documentsthemselves say they were drawn up.

“The phrase ‘Al-Yahuda’ means‘city of Judah,’ which in the Bible refersto Jerusalem,” said Bruce Wells, Ph.D.,director of the Ancient Studies programand an assistant professor of theology.What makes the documents so notewor-thy, however, is that they weren’tdiscovered in Jerusalem. They werefound in modern day Iraq, in the terri-tory that was known as Babylonia at thetime they were written. That time wasthe so-called “exilic period” when anumber of people from Judah (the

southern part of modern day Israel)were taken as captives to Babylonia.

“The use of the phrase ‘Al-Yahuda’tells us that there were enough people inexile that they formed their own town,”Wells said, likening it to “Little Italy”communities found in major citiesthroughout the country.

The tablets are records of normalbusiness matters of the time, includingmarriage contracts and slavery transac-tions. They were written by Babylonianscribes and include many Hebrewnames, which add weight to the theorythat there was a fairly large Jewish pop-ulation in Babylonia at the time.

“There has been debate over justhow many Jews were forced into exile atthat time,” Wells said. “These tabletsprovide the first ever substantial evi-dence for common people from Judahliving in Babylon during the exilicperiod.”

Among the conference’s six lecturersare Laurie Pearce, Ph.D., of theUniversity of California-Berkeley, andCornelia Wunsch, Ph.D., of theUniversity of London. Both scholars arecurrently working to translate and pub-lish many of the texts. “Once published,they will become an important object ofstudy for Biblical studies, the history ofBabylon and early Jewish history,”Wells said.

The conference is free and open tothe public. It will be held on March 21from 1:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. and March 22from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., in the Presidents’Lounge of Campion Student Center.

Public Safety Employee Returns from Duty(continued from page 1)

Air Force ROTC instructor at SaintJoseph’s — a connection that continueseven overseas.

“In the past four months, I ran intopeople I had worked and trained withthroughout my Air Force career,” saysReyes. “I even connected with two for-mer cadets, now lieutenants, from the AirForce ROTC program here at St. Joe’s.”

On her “off-duty” days, Reyesimmersed herself in the new, foreignenvironment of the Middle East.

“It was pretty eye-opening for meto experience such a different culture,”says Reyes. “I was able to travel off thebase a few times and go to the shoppingdistrict. There we could buy hand-madeclothing, gold, pearls, spices and hand-carved woodcrafts. We had to learn howto haggle, but each trip was full of sur-prises. Even driving off of the base wasan adventure—and I thought Phillydrivers were bad!”

Though she has many fond memo-ries of her tour, the harsh, realreminders of the global war against ter-rorism were ever-present. Too often,Reyes and her fellow comrades tooktime out of their normal routine toperform a final salute to Fallen Warriors

as they returned home for the last timeon one of her Wing’s planes.

“Unfortunately, it was an almostdaily occurrence that a Fallen Warriorceremony would take place,” says Reyes.“I didn’t know who they were or howthey died; I just knew they had made theultimate sacrifice for their country.Though we could never fully thank themfor their sacrifice, I hope they somehowfelt the strong sense of gratitude.”

Reyes says that it was both anhonor and a privilege to serve her coun-try. She is thankful for the opportunity,and also the support of her family,friends and coworkers.

“I am appreciative of [Public SafetyDirector] John Henfey and the rest ofthe Public Safety staff who not onlypicked up my workload while I wasgone, but who kept my spirits up withe-mail, phone calls and care packages,”says Reyes. “I know it’s been hard onboth my family and on the people Iwork with here in the Department ofPublic Safety. I am truly grateful fortheir support.”

Reyes continues her Reserve dutywith the 439th Airlift Wing out ofChicopee, Mass.

What makes the documents so

noteworthy, however, is that they

weren’t discovered in Jerusalem.

They were found in modern day

Iraq, in the territory that was

known as Babylonia at the time

they were written.

Campus Colleagues SJU Professor Makes ‘Jeopardy!’ Clue Board

None of the contestants rang in to give the response, which is “What is Tiger?”

Last fall, executive MBA studentsJoe Coyle, Scott Walker, Mitch Bakerand Tim Docherty got a different lookat what it means to be “men and womenfor and with others,” when they part-nered with The Clinic for their projectfor their team consulting class.

The Clinic is a not-for-profit med-ical center in Phoenixville, Pa., thatcaters to the uninsured by providing freehealthcare services to its patients. Lastfall it was featured in People Magazineand on NBC’s Today Show, promptingan influx in requests from around thecountry seeking guidance on how tostart similar clinics. That’s where thestudents stepped in.

“The Clinic’s core mission is to pro-vide service to their patients, not to helppeople start other clinics,” Coyle said.“We saw that as an area where we couldhelp.”

So the clinic could keep its focus onits patients, the team of students workedto address the requests by creating a“how to” manual others could follow toreplicate The Clinic’s success in theirown communities.

“The idea was that, following theToday Show feature, they’d be able togive something tangible right away topeople interested in starting their ownclinics,” said Walker.

To map The Clinic’s success, theteam made several trips to its facilitiesto learn the ins and outs of its operation.

“We interviewed employees in everydepartment to see what they did, howthey did it, and why they did things in acertain way,” Walker said. “From theinformation we gathered, we were ableto build off of a generic ‘how to’ manual[on starting non-profits] and were able

to personalize it so it reflected TheClinic’s and add an executive summary.”

Through meetings with The Clinic’sfounders Dr. Lorna B. Stuart and theReverend Marie Z. Swayze, andExecutive Director Krystine Sipple, thestudents were able to develop a clearerunderstanding of the non-profit’smission and goals.

“The drive and vision of thefounders is what’s made it so success-ful,” Coyle said. “They understoodwhat they wanted to do and realized thatthey couldn’t be all things to all people.They focused on their core services.”

But The Clinic wasn’t the onlybeneficiary of the students’ work. Theteam had a lot to take away from theirexperience that goes far beyond the “A”they received for the project.

“We initially thought it would be agood organization to work with, andour experiences working with them andseeing their genuine spirit and passionfor what they do really validated ourchoice,” said Docherty. “There’s nofinancial incentive for what they aredoing. They’re not in this for any otherreason than to help their fellow man.”

“From a classroom perspective itwas a good educational experience. Ihad no prior experience in externalconsulting and I learned that it’s some-times just a matter of being helpful andlending a pair of hands,” said Baker.“And the personal takeaway was that Ifelt really good about working with aclient that has such a worthy cause.”

Although their work on the projectis over, the team plans to continue theirrelationship with The Clinic even pastgraduation. First up: The Clinic’s annualgolf outing fundraiser in June.

The multiple outlets forservice, available through CampusMinistry, help the University achieve itsmission of educating men and womenfor others.

Thomas Sheibley, director ofCampus Ministry, notes how importantthese programs are to SJU’s identity.

“Engagement with the local andglobal community is a valuable part ofthe educational experience at SaintJoseph’s University,” says Sheibley.“Building relationships with others whomay not have had the material advan-tages that we often take for granted can

help to shape our students in ways thatthe classroom alone cannot.”

The honor roll is determined byassessing each school’s level of partici-

pation in service programs,also considering program

innovation and thenumber of service-learning coursesoffered. Waningnumbers of partici-pants is not aconcern at SJU,says Sheibley.
