The Nine Days--Time to Pray at Tel Shiloh

The days from Rosh Chodesh (the first of the Jewish Month of) Av until the Ninth, Tisha B'Av, are days of mourning for our Holy Temple and prayer. Therefore we will, G-d willing, meet at Tel Shiloh:

Monday, August 4th, the third of Av

9:45 at the Tabernacle Gallery-Beit Cafe`

Together, we will pray for the Jewish People and also our own personal prayers in the same place as Biblical Chana prayed for a son who would serve G-d. G-d gave Chana a son, Samuel, who learned from Eli the High Priest in Shiloh and later annointed our first two Kings, Saul and David.

Today, thousands of years later, Shiloh is still a popular place of pilgrimage. People come from all over the world to Shiloh.

Tel Shiloh is open to visitors and pilgrims on the weekdays; so if Monday, August 4 isn't convenient and you want to visit another time, you may. For more information call the Tourist Office of Tel Shiloh, 02-994-4019.

There is, also, a Coffee Shop--Gallery. Snacks, photos, art work and souvenirs are for sale. Meals for groups can be arranged.
