Facebook Friends in Shiloh

Yesterday I hosted a number of friends whom I'm in touch via a closed facebook group. At our first f2f (face to face) meeting in Jerusalem barely six months ago, we planned a winter visit to the Negev and a spring visit to Shiloh.  Yesterday was the visit to Shiloh.  During Chanukah we met in Netivot.  Of course, only about a third of the group could make it.  For some it's a serious matter of distance.  Georgia and Colorado are more than a bit too far, and the carfare is pretty expensive. 

I tried to squeeze a lot into the afternoon of the visit.  One thing I wanted to show was that our "midtown" actually has stores and other servies. I took them to the supermarket and the clothing/toy/misc. store.  Some of them tried out the WC aka 00 of the clinic, too.

Of course Shiloh Hakeduma aka Tel Shiloh was the highlight of the trip.

We received a guided tour and then prayed directly to G-d.  And then they all checked out the Tel's shop and were very impressed.

We ended with a meal at the local restaurant, eating pizza and salads. As you can see we have everything one needs in Shiloh!  We even have something very few others place have, G-d's presence, which will never leave.

Now we have to figure out where we're going next.
