Arutz-7's Ariel Kahane spoke to Miriam Adler today, in honor of her and her husband's move to Sa-Nur in the Shomron. "We're moving today from Kiryat Arba to Sa-Nur," Miriam said, "which is located on the strategically important Highway #60 between Chomesh and Mevo Dotan in the northern Shomron. Security-wise, it's a very important route, and Sa-Nur is located near some Arab-populated areas, including at least one very hostile village. It's a place that the Arabs would like to have..."
"We're not the only ones moving there," she said. "Three or four other families are moving today [as well as some singles], and by the end of the summer we hope to reach 15 families." Miriam explained that Sa-Nur "largely emptied out over the past two years. It must be recalled that the northern Shomron suffered greatly from the Oslo War violence, and many of the residents simply could not bear under the daily trauma of traveling with the threat of shooting and bombs. We have therefore taken it upon ourselves to renew the community, to make sure that it is not abandoned. We don't want to give our enemies the pleasure of taking over this point... Our goal is to live here just as in a regular, normal town: we will travel when we want, and send our children to school, and do everything else that is done in a regular community."
Kahane said, "One needs great strength to take such a move..." Ms. Adler modestly replied, "With G-d's help. It requires much Divine providence, and I believe that our move is the right one, in light of everything that is happening today. We know today that both the right and the left-wings are collapsing, and that communities are liable to be given away, and we hope that our actions will help stop this."
