Resurrecting Joseph's Tomb

The unforgetable image of Palestinian Arabs destroying the Jewish holy site, Joseph's Tomb, following an Israeli troop withdrawl in the West Bank

New Dome Installed on Joseph's Tomb -Jonah Mandel

A new dome was installed at Joseph's Tomb in Nablus, in place of the one destroyed ten years ago when a Palestinian mob ransacked the structure, smashing the dome with pickaxes and setting the compound on fire.

According to the agreements with the Palestinian Authority, the holy Jewish site is under Israel's jurisdiction, though Jewish worshipers have been barred from entering during the day. Monthly nighttime visits, coordinated with and secured by the IDF, have enabled busloads of Jewish worshipers to visit the tomb since November 2007. Israel's chief rabbis visited the site last month.
