ELON MOREH - Shechem Renewal of the Jewish Settlement in Shomron

Hill 792: Since the settlements on the mountaintops around Shechem, of which Elon Moreh is the biggest and therefore the central one, are the only Israeli presence from Natanya to the Jordan River, these communities now present the only barrier to a Palestinian State in Samaria.

It is therefore of utmost importance to build up this presence on the highest mountain tops. On the hill northeeast of EM a new neighborhood has been started without any government help at all. This leaves all the essentials - road, electrical lines, water, etc. - without any budgets.

	The trip to the new neighborhood on Hill 792 starts on the newly built "super-highway" to Neve Ofra,
But soon turns into a long jeep trail.
	Everyone lends a hand to strengthening the new "neighborhood".
Even the settlement manager Dan Tor makes regular trips bringing supplies and volunteers.
	With the lack of funding- even basics like the water tower are built by hand.
