Upon the occasion of the visit of a doctoral student, my friend Yona Tzoref drove us around the Shiloh Bloc to see the views. From Shiloh we drove north to Eli and then on east over to Keidah's former radar installation base, now abandoned.
A few of the views:
Highway #60 from the north with Shiloh Junction at center-left, and Turmos-Aya in backgroundwith hills of Baal-Hatzor on the horizon
Tel Shiloh and the lower Shiloh neighborhoods from Eli in the north
Looking at Highway #60 with Eli to the right, its gas station in the middle, and Maaleh Levona upper left in the distance
Givat Harel, just west of Highway #60 between Shiloh and Eli and Givat HaRoeh caravans on the next hilltop behind
A-Essawiya village west of Eli
Duma village just east of the Allon Road and the Sartaba Peak in the background
Keidah (to the right) and Adei-Ad in the distance, south of former Keida radar installation
Some of the thousands of vines growing in the area, all a result of Jewish agricultural enterprise
American born, my wife and I moved to Israel in 1970. We have lived at Shiloh together with our family since 1981. I was in the Betar youth movement in the US and UK. I have worked as a political aide to Members of Knesset and a Minister during 1981-1994, lectured at the Academy for National Studies 1977-1994, was director of Israel's Media Watch 1995-2000 and currently, I work at the Menachem Begin Heritage Center in Jerusalem. I was a guest media columnist on media affairs for The Jerusalem Post, op-ed contributor to various journals and for six years had a weekly media show on Arutz 7 radio. I serve as an unofficial spokesperson for the Jewish Communities in Judea & Samaria.
