Book Description
"The final season of excavations at Tel Beer-sheba, the eighth, took place in the summer of 1976 and was carried out after his demise by Aharoni's chief assistants, Ze'ev Herzog, Itzhaq Beit-Arieh and Anson F. Rainey. The latter two regrettably did not live to see the completion of this publication. But they shared in the work, as did the young staff members who enabled the Tel Beer-sheba project to become a reality. To Fredrick Brandfon of the University of Pennsylvania, Steven Derfler of the University of Minnesota and Le-Grande Davies of Brigham Young University go our sincere thanks"--

Book Description
Weingrod presents an anthropological study of the development of a new Jewish saint, or zaddikin Israel and of the annual pilgrimage to his enshrined grave by thousands of North African Jews. It is the fascinating story of how Rabbi Chayim Chouri, an aged Tunisian rabbi, became famed as the "Saint of Beersheba," after his death in the 1950s. The author focuses upon the meaning of this event in the lives of the participants, and interprets the relevance of mystical-religious traditions to present-day Israeli society, politics, and culture. It includes a photographic essay that brilliantly evokes the joyful events that occur during the ritual and festivity of the pilgrimage.

Book Description
The Battle of Beersheba, a redeeming win for the ANZACs who lost at Gallipoli, has slipped through the cracks of Australia's historical consciousness. Why are Australians so much more content to commemmorate a glorious defeat than we are to celebrate such a resounding, against the odds, victory?

Book Description
"A hundred years ago in October 1917 members of the 4th Australian Light Horse Brigade participated in what is now regarded as the last great successful cavalry charge. Waving bayonets overhead in the dying light, they raced across six kilometres of exposed ground in Palestine, surprising the well-entrenched Turks. It was the decisive blow in the British capture of the strategic stronghold of Beersheba. The story of this remarkable military victory has largely slipped through the cracks of history, eclipsed in Australian sentiment by stories of dramatic defeat and loss at Gallipoli and on the Western Front. Paul Daley goes in search of the story of Beersheba. What he uncovers is a story of ordinary men capable of extraordinary acts, as he sheds new light on a dark episode starkly at odds with the Anzac mythology."

Book Description
The city got its name from the word "beer" which means well and the word "sheba" which means covenant. Based on the Biblical account in the book of Genesis, Abram, the patriarch of the Jewish people who would later on be called Abraham, gave the King of Gerai named Abimelech seven lambs for the right to dig a well for his cattle and flock in the territory of Abimelech. King Abimelech asked Abraham, “What is the meaning of these seven lambs you have set apart by themselves?” Abraham replied to the King of Gerar, “Accept these seven lambs from my hand as a witness that I dug this well.” The two men had a "sheba" or covenant for the beer or well dug by Abraham for his cattle and flock. “So the place was called Beersheba because the two men swore an oath there.”
