TUESDAY JUNE 16
Return to ancient roots and current blossoms 馃尫馃馃拹馃尮馃
The great return is underway, BH!
In a protected bus and with full military coordination and escort, we will scale biblical Mount Eval and behold the altar that Joshua built upon entering the Land, overlooking biblical Shechem.
Here, the twelve tribes reaffirmed their allegiance to God and Torah on Mount Gerizim and Mt Eval
The site was discovered in the 1980's by Professor Zertel, but until recently, it has not seen many Jewish visitors due to security concerns (the Oslo Accords).
Recently, efforts have been made to encourage Jewish visitors
There are plans to build a major museum around this unique biblical site, a must-see site for millions of visitors.
Hopefully, future VIPs will be brought there rather than whisked off to "Yad Vashem" where they are told we returned to our homeland because of anti-Semitism.
Joshua will provide the original and correct understanding as to why we returned to our land and why we will never leave again.
We will have a specially chosen English-speaking guide from the local Shomron field school.
In 2005, the area of biblical Israel, the northern Shomron, was declared "Judenrein" by the Israeli government when they razed four Jewish villages and expelled the populations.
The Northern Shomron, home to flourishing Jewish villages and few Arab neighbors, met the same sad fate as the larger Jewish settlement area in Gaza.
Prime Minister Sharon never explained why he "threw it in " along with Gaza as yet another gift to our enemies, but he was determined.
Chomesh saw the first heart-wrenching destruction and expulsion in 2005.
They were the first Jews to return last year, and once again, a thriving community
Our group had the honor of being one of the first visitors to celebrate the restoration of the pioneers to their village.
It is an experience not to be forgotten
Recently, its neighbor up the road is welcoming its people back, too.
The ruins of Sanur are being rebuilt by the same enthusiastic pioneers who never stopped dreaming of a return.
We will, please God, be the first English-speaking group to visit these special Jews and celebrate with them in the midst of the rebuilding.
(Hopefully, we will do the same for the remaining two)
The connection between Joshua's entry into the promised land to reaffirm the covenant and today's pioneers in the same area is clear and breathtaking.
We will meet at the Inbal hotel at 9:00. Return approx 6:00
320 shekels
