Hundreds of students from the Amit Baruchin yeshiva visited Sha-Nur in northern Samaria on Tuesday as part of their first school trip to the community since its 2005 evacuation. They sang with Samaria Council head Yossi Dagan, a Sha-Nur resident who returned after the expulsion, and Yeshiva head Rabbi Avi Shish spoke about the mitzvah of settling the land. Dagan told students the community is part of a 'connection plan' that has replaced the disengagement.
On Tuesday afternoon, hundreds of students from the Amit Baruchin yeshiva arrived at Sha-Nur, a community in northern Samaria that was evacuated in 2005 as part of Israel's disengagement from the Gaza Strip and northern Samaria. This was the first school trip to the community since the expulsion, according to reports from the scene.
The students, together with Samaria Regional Council head Yossi Dagan — a Sha-Nur resident who was expelled and later returned to rebuild his home — sang "Tefila Le'ani" (the anthem of the expulsion) and "Yeshuvu Banim Ligvulam" (a song of return). Yeshiva head Rabbi Avi Shish said it was a "great privilege to connect with the commandment of settling the Land of Israel, which is being realized again in northern Samaria."
Dagan told the students: "Instead of the disengagement plan — we are winning together, with a connection plan." The visit comes 21 years after the expulsion, amid ongoing rebuilding of Sha-Nur, where families have returned. As The Zioneer previously reported, the first kindergarten in the renewed community was installed in June 2026. The school trip marks what organizers described as a symbolic act of continuity and national resilience.
