(IsraelNN.com) Former nationalist Knesset Member Geula Cohen will join activists Wednesday night at Shdema, a former IDF base that Jewish groups are struggling to retain under Israeli sovereignty. The government previously announced it will turn over the area to the Palestinian Authority (PA) for new housing for Arabs, but nationalists have succeeded in maintaining a constant presence at the site and keep leftist anarchists from taking it over.

Geula Cohen, mother of chairman of Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee Tzachi HaNegbi (Kadima), will address the crowd. Bible teacher David Nativ will lecture on the Book of Jeremiah, and Makor Chaim Yeshiva Rabbi Dov Zinger will lecture on "From destruction to Redemption, on a personal level." Buses will leave from Kiryat Arba-Hevron at 6:00 p.m., from Har Homa, from Har Homa and Gush Etzion at 6:30 p.m., and from Efrat at 6:40 p.m.
