Episode 179 - Borderlines: Within the Border - Efrat

What would it take to reopen a 2,000-year-old water system that's sat behind a line since Oslo?

That's the question behind the final episode of our Border series.

Fifteen minutes south of Jerusalem, in the town of Efrat, a group gathers that doesn't come together often: a Member of Knesset, IDF officers, a rabbi, the mayor, a filmmaker - pulled together in under 48 hours to walk into Solomon's Pools.

Together, we trace the pools back to the Book of Ruth, stand where an Iranian missile struck just over a mile away, and hear how a mapping decision during Oslo quietly put a biblical landmark out of reach. 

The conversation moves from Bethlehem's disappearing Christian community to a restoration vision that could open this site back up - and to a Member of Knesset's case for why it matters now.

Beyond the border in Syria. Along the border in Gaza. Within the border, here in Efrat. This is the one that goes inside.
