Very Modern Shiloh

As in many rural places, there isn't a bank in Shiloh. I couldn't even count the times when neighbors have knocked on my door, asking if they could borrow cash... just until we get to the city, to a bank. Quite a few couples work in the area, and weeks can go by without their being near a bank or in more recent times, "cash machine."

A couple of years ago, one was put up at the gas station at the junction to Psagot and Kochav Yaakov. It's also near Tel Zion and Migron. This was considered a great innovation, and improvement in the quality of life for people who rarely left Mateh Benyamin, the Benjamin Regional Council, just north of Jerusalem.

It wasn't that long ago when there wasn't even a bank, nor "caspaomat," money machine in all of Pisgat Zeev and Neve Yaakov, the two large northern Jerusalem neighborhoods, closest to us and with a population of an Israeli city.

A few weeks ago, I hear rumors of the arrival of a "caspaomat," money machine in our local grocery store. Last Thursday night, I did the weekly Thursday night shopping, camera in hand, so you could see the latest modern convenience to make it to Shiloh!!

The sign says:
