Shiloh of today and the Shiloh of the Bible are in the same location.  There's no argument about it.  Shiloh was the first Capital of the Jewish Nation.  That was for 369 years, before King David established Jerusalem as the Jewish Capital City.

Before we had our Beit HaMikdash, Holy Temple, we had the Mishkan, the Tabernacle.  It was constructed during the forty years we wandered from Egypt to the Holy Land, and then it was the place of Jewish worship in Shiloh for 369 years.  Elements of holiness remain in Shiloh.  It's the perfect place to pray to G-d for personal and national requests.  I've been inviting women to come to Shiloh for Rosh chodesh prayers for the past few years.  During Biblical times, Chana prayed for a son, Samuel in Shiloh.

Contact The Tel Shiloh Tourist office, telshilo@gmail.com There will be special activities during Passover.  I'll post about them as soon as I have more information.

Batya: Could you please pray at Tel Shiloh for my brother's niece, Sarah?

She's only 3 months old and undergoing surgery for a cleft lip next Friday.

Batya said...

Please send me the child's name. The Jewish custom is the child's name and the name of the mother. Refuah Shleimah, a complete recovery.

i know i can pray at tel shilo myself, but if the ladies rosh chodesh group is accepting names for group prayer at the tel:

levi chai avraham ben shifra chana.

he's in a life threatening situation and could be healed if he were allowed to return to eretz yisrael.

Batya said...

G-d willing, we'll all pray.

If she's Jewish then you pray, Sarah bat Sarah, and if she isn't just Sarah
