Rabbi Dov Lior, accompanied by Samaria leader Yossi Dagan, visited the Homesh settlement in northern Samaria on Wednesday, a day after his historic helicopter landing at Sha-Nur. He placed a mezuzah in a new home, participated in a siyum at the yeshiva, and toured the Shova Israel farm. Dagan blessed the rabbi with 'hundreds of thousands of Jews in northern Samaria and millions in Samaria,' to which the rabbi replied: 'There will be, and there will be.'
Rabbi Dov Lior continued his tour of northern Samaria on Wednesday, a day after his historic helicopter landing at Sha-Nur—the first such landing since the 2005 disengagement, as The Zioneer reported on Tuesday. Accompanied by Samaria Regional Council head Yossi Dagan, Lior visited Homesh, a former settlement evacuated in 2005 that now hosts a yeshiva and an outpost. The rabbi placed a mezuzah in a newly built home, attended a siyum at the yeshiva, and toured the adjacent Shova Israel farm. During the visit, Dagan asked the rabbi: 'Bless us with hundreds of thousands of Jews in northern Samaria and millions in Samaria,' to which Lior responded: 'There will be, and there will be.' The tour underscores continued efforts to reestablish Jewish presence in areas evacuated in the 2005 disengagement.
