Film
- Guided Tour of Jericho (in Hebrew)
Erna Kovos leads us into
Jericho from the city's north-west entrance until the Shalom al Israel
synagogue. The past and the present meet - the conquest of Joshua, the
now rampart-less remains of ancient Jericho, the ancient Hasmonean
cemetery, the fresh-water springs of Diuk and Elisha, and of course the
two ancient synagogues of Naaran and Shalom al Israel, where Jews have
returned to pray despite the present Arab occupation. In two parts, in
Hebrew.
Part 1
Part 2
Volunteering in Beit Hogla
Beit Hogla always welcomes:
* Helping hands in agriculture - groups can come for a week at a time or for a few days at a time.
* Families or singles who want to make their home in this beautiful place.
* Are there people from Gush Katif who want to participate in the
development of the farm? Here, we also cultivate on the sand, here
also we experience the special blessing which Itzhak received in Grar
(which is after all Gush Katif).
Contact Erna 052-8699300.
Founding of the Jericho Study Centre
We have decided to found a Study Centre dedicated to Jericho.
Educational institutes, yeshivot and communities that want to enrich
their knowledge about Jericho, its history and its centrality to the
People of Israel, are invited to come and participate. Rabanim and
public figures are invited to come and lecture. This Study Centre was
founded in response to the great ignorance prevalent amongst most of
the public about the holy city of Jericho, and hence the general apathy
to this holy city. Want to know more? Phone Erna at.

important sites.

28th Nissan, the Anniversary of the Conquest of Jericho by Joshua
Jericho was conquered by Joshua on the 28th of Nissan.  The People of
Israel went round the walls of the city blowing ram's horns for 6 days;
on the 7th day the walls were absorbed into the ground.

Brit Mila in Shalom Al Israel
For the first time in years, a Brit Mila was performed in the ancient Shalom al Israel synagogue in Jericho.
See the Arutz 7 article
We greeted the month of Adar in Jericho with great joy
On
the 1st of Adar B two Yeshivot, the chairman of the Yesha Council and
people from all over Israel - altogether close to 100 people - prayed
in the ancient "Shalom al Israel" synagogue in Jericho.  To
our shame, the Israeli army (which accompanies us inside Jericho)
coordinates with the PLO regime. The latter did not agree to let us in
at the agreed hour. Only when we got off the buses and started walking
to Jericho, did the Israeli army relent, and pressurised the PLO
regime to agree to our immediate entry. Because of the
large public, we had two Minianim, one in the Yeshiva on the 1st floor
and another in the synagogue below, around the ancient mosaic. There
was much singing and dancing.
Jews pray in Jericho and hope to return
