Dozens Celebrate “Hakafot Shniyot” at the Tomb of Eleazar haKohen…
…in the Arab village of Awarta.
Hundreds of Jews arrived from across Samaria to celebrate Hakafot Shniyot (another round of dancing with the Torah on the night following Simchat Torah), as celebrated in Israel, at the Tomb of Eleazar haKohen (the Priest)—a site recently reclaimed by young men from the nearby hilltop outpost.
The celebrants prayed at the tomb of Eleazar haKohen, danced and rejoiced, and marked the fact that the site has been freely accessible to Jews for over a month.
