Welcome to Biblical Samaria!

The Mountains of the Blessings and the curses in Samaria

"And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Shechem, unto Elon Moreh..."

"And it shall come to pass, when the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt set the blessing upon Mount Gerizim, and the curse upon Mount Ebal. Are they not beyond the Jordan, behind the way of the going down of the sun, in the land of the Canaanites that dwell in the Aravah, over against Gilgal, beside Elon Moreh? For ye are to pass over the Jordan to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God giveth you, and ye shall possess it, and dwell therein."

On this website we invite you to join us in discussing and experiencing life in the center of Israel... in Biblical Samaria.

Not the Samaria of politicians and news programs- but the Land of the Bible.

The Land whose story is written on parchment...
as well as in the hearts of men and women
who are striving to live the Bible, and fulfill the Commandments.

But, just talking will not get us there. Instead- let's meet one of the residents:

This hill stood bare and waiting for 2,000 years of exile.
We found dry thorns and boulders- and planted a garden.
We found desolation and cries of jackals at night- and built a home.
When the attackers came- we defended it.
When we did not succeed- we buried our dead.
When the army came to uproot- we blocked the roads.
If they succeed in destroying- we will return and build.
I promise.
