Desert Generation

From our talk with Ron Dvir and Ziv Spektor yesterday:

When Moses left Egypt he could only arrive in Israel after forty years. Why? A whole new generation needed to grow up that was not born in Egypt befor change was possible. It's Ziv's hypothesis that every big change needs a 'desert generation'.

When we think of making the Negev attractive for outsiders we often think of making it into some sort of attraction park. Adding things to the desert. But what really is attractive about the Negev is the Negev. Just that.
