Inspiring Children at Camp
Jews and Christians are sending their children to school programs with religious content. There is truly no better way to inspire a child and especially a teen-ager than through the informal education that is available at summer camps, weekend programs, vacation Bible school and similar activities.

A Visit With Shmuel: Mevo Dotan
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Mevo Dotan in Northern Samaria and actually felt like I was witnessing a miracle. This is a community that was founded back in the 80’s with great views and good people. But then came the Second Intifada and life came crashing down.

A Visit With Shmuel: Nofim
I am excited to share my recent tour of the community of Nofim. Even though it is located right across the valley from our office in Karnei Shomron, I had never actually visited it before. In Hebrew, Nofim means views and I was curious to find out if reality matched the hype. And let me tell you, it absolutely did!

A Visit With Shmuel: Netafim
Just before Israel celebrated its 75th Independence Day, I had the pleasure of visiting the community of Kiryat Netafim in Samaria. As we drove through the neighborhoods, I encountered a heartwarming display of the residents’ pride and love for their homeland, as every balcony was adorned with Israeli flags and blue and white garlands.
