Colloquium IAU 72 is the first IAU-sponsored activity in this country, and it therefore seemed appropriate to include a paper on Astronomy in Israel. With the highly singular history of this nation, the scene will move from Eretz-Israel to Babylon (present day Iraq) and to Europe before returning to this area.
