Bible study should be experiential and tactile, bonding us with our national roots. Visiting Shiloh will be part of the Education Ministry curriculum,” said Sa’ar.

Walla adds:

ראש מועצת התלמידים והנוער הארצית אשר אלון, אמר בזמנו כי "אנחנו בעד שתלמידי ישראל יכירו את הארץ והמורשת, אך משרד החינוך צריך לדאוג לחזק את מערך האבטחה סביב התלמידים כדי לאפשר ביקורים כאלה".
Asher Allon, head of the Pupils' Association, wants to be assured that all security concerns will be cared for so that visits to the site will be safe.
