Two Pesach Tours with Shalom Pollack


 

? ? TWO PESACH TOURS WITH SHALOM POLLACK?

Monday, April 14?
The Beautiful? Western Negev Desert?
We will travel through the heart of the majestic Western Negev in bloom as we visit Kibbutz Revivim. This beautiful oasis in the desert was established in 1943 by German and Italian refugees despite the British ban on Jewish immigration, land purchase, and settlement.
Taking advantage of existing Ottoman law, the young pioneers built a walled" settlement" overnight.? In the morning, they were the southernmost Jewish presence in the Land of Israel.?Surrounded by sand and Bedouins, they began building a community.
During the 1948 War of Independence, the tiny settlement was caught behind enemy lines as the Negev was conquered by the?Egyptians. Their desperate, successful battle against overwhelming forces?is legendary. They wrote history with their self-sacrifice and vision.
We will tour the kibbutz, including the original structures and defense posts, as the battle is reconstructed with the aid of a multimedia presentation.
?One of the greatest challenges for the young community was water. We will enjoy a special presentation about how they acquired water.?
We will see archeological evidence of how ancient residents of the area solved this problem.

The Shomron in Bloom and Glory?


We will be guests of the renewed community and yeshiva of Chomesh in the northern Shomron. In 2005, Chomesh and three other Jewish communities were uprooted as part of the expulsions of Gush Katif.?
The yeshiva students of Chomesh defied the? "No Jews allowed" edict.?
Enduring government expulsions and Arab terror attacks, they continued their Torah study.
?Finally, just over a year ago, the government legalized the study of Torah in Chomesh.??
Today, Chomesh is a community budding around the vibrant yeshiva.
We are invited to visit this amazing community and meet today's heroes and tomorrow's leaders of Am Yisrael.

We will have a guided tour of Mount Eival and the original altar of Yehoshua.
Escorted by the army, we will travel in an armored bus to the site bordering areas that? Israel relinquished with the Oslo Accords of 1993.
Archaeologist Adam Zertal discovered perhaps the most important Jewish site in the land of Israel. On the highest peak of Mt Eival, Joshua reaffirmed the mission of the Jewish Nation upon entering the land over 3.300 years ago. Amazingly, the altar that he built is intact.
?Here is where it all began.?
Today, instead of a major museum built around this most important symbol of? Jewish connection to our land,? the Palestinian Authority has been encroaching on the site, causing irreparable damage.?
Our?visit will?strengthen the Jewish connection to the site where our forefathers confirmed their allegiance to Torah as we entered the land.
