Dear Geoff,
I detect some confusion in your letter. The Schiffmann lecture series is a
Ben Gurion University event (not my own department, unfortunately). It is
not an Orion event. Orion has provided
a service by announcing it to a wider audience, and this, I assume, is
what they will continue to do.
