Shiloh Conference #3 כנס שילה Kennes Shiloh

Shiloh Conference #3 כנס שילה Kennes Shiloh took place today, and it was wonderful! There were tours and lectures. I took the tour led by my neighbor Era Rapaport, and I must say that even though I'm at Shiloh Hakeduma, Tel Shiloh every month, if not more frequently, I saw things I've never seen before or knew existed, and I learned a lot.

We even went to the new museum which is in the bottom floor of the  מגדל הרואהת Migdal Haro'eh, Observation Tower, which also has the impressive movie presentation upstairs. As you can see, the conference was attended by people of all ages. It takes place in Hebrew.





I hope that the lectures will be available online. I missed the last two, and from what my husband said, they really were great. One thing that I heard from a speaker was that although one of the first Israeli archaeologists who spent a lot of time digging in Tel Shiloh, Yisrael Finkelstein, is known for trying to disprove the Bible, Shiloh has consistently proven him wrong. The discoveries here in Shiloh reconfirm the Biblical narrative.





It's definitely worth visiting the site and even taking a tour if you can. Guided tours can be arranged through the Shiloh HaKeduma, Ancient Shiloh office. Email visit@telshilo.org.il  or phone 02-994-4019.

Take "Two State Solution" Off of Table!!

As all of you who are familiar with my writing should know by now, I've never been in favor of this "two state solution." I've always considered it not only dangerous and unworkable, but it has always been clear to me that those who invented and promoted the concept, the fiction of a "Palestinian People" did it to supplant, replace destroy Zionism and the State of Israel.

Carefully examine and research history, and you'll never find such a people, society, grouping etc.

Over the millennia, the reason various armies, countries etc. attempted to invade, conquer, rule or destroy this small piece of land in the Middle East is simply a facet of antisemitism. The only people to ever independently rule this area have been the Jewish People. We had Judges, Prophets, Kingdoms and Kings for well over a thousand years. It has always been our spiritual center. First was a period of close to four hundred years when the Mishkan, the Holy Tabernacle stood here in Shiloh.

Not only is it documented in the Bible, yes, the same Bible recognized by Christians as well as Jews, but archaeological excavations and research confirm it. If you understand spoken Hebrew, I suggest that you attend the כנס שילה Kennes Shiloh, Shiloh Conference this Thursday afternoon from 3pm at Shiloh Hakeuma, Tel Shiloh.


Just read the news, and you'll see that it's Fatah, no different from Hamas which is promoting the destruction of the State of Israel. So how can our government subscribe to the idea of giving them a state? Check out PMW:
Fatah incites violence: We are "as shining swords"

"In the name of Allah the Merciful 'Permission [to fight] has been given to those who are being fought, because they were wronged. And indeed, Allah is competent to give them victory.'

Protect the sanctuary and protect them
Knights of the sanctuary are holding the flags
Whenever they [Israelis] go crazy, and when our eyes are closed
We open our eyes on the sanctuary and its borders
When the land calls its men, it finds us as shining swords
There's nothing more precious. We kneel only to the Creator
When the land calls its men, it finds us as shining swords
There's nothing more precious. We kneel only to the Creator."
