Micah Smith discusses his film 'Desert Princess', which portrays the human side of the Yesha outposts issue. David Willner and Barnea Selavan of Foundation Stone integrate the Torah, archaeology and history in their land-based Israel education programs.

Is the Sullivan mentioned related to Jimmy?

Selavan?  Isn't that a Hebrew name?

They spelled it wrong. She said it like Sullivan.

Maybe Barnea is his son's Hebrew name from after he converted. His English name is David.

Well, almost any native English speaker would say Selevan like "Sullivan", but I know that there are other Jews with that name with the same spelling.  I'm not sure whether it's Hebrew or Yiddish, but it's definitely a Jewish last name.
