In this episode, we drive through Moshav Tal Shachar out the back gate, past the wheat and cotton fields, across the railroad tracks to the enchanted "Cyclamen Hill." There are so many reasons to visit Tel Shachar than just cyclamens like ancient Tel Timna where Samson took a Philistine wife, Pe'er Winery, and Izza Paziza Goat Farm and Cheese Cafe!

BRING ALL OF THE HOSTAGES HOME!
