A group of Jews traveled to Yericho (Jericho) early Monday to conduct prayers for the new month (Rosh Chodesh) of Adar Bet in the ancient synagogue there. This was the largest group to participate in the monthly tradition in recent years.
The Torah scroll was brought from Mevo'ot Yericho. The activists feel they cannot be sure that local residents will not vandalize the synagogue and for this reason do not leave the scrolls behind.
Danny Dayan, Yesha Council Head, was also part of the group. He spoke of a feeling of "very great excitement along with great frustration."
"The great excitement is because we get closer to our origins here, we are connecting to the land, we are connecting to our heritage. On the other hand, the frustration is keen because we have to enter accompanied by the army, because there are police officers here and a flag which are not ours."
For the first time ever, the group was so big that it was decided to split the morning prayer into two minyans (prayer quorums) - one in the yeshiva and one in the synagogue. The crowd danced around the famous mosaic of the synagogue and continued the celebration outdoors.

ACT NOW for ISRAEL: Flush ‘LUSH’ Cosmetics!
email to customercare@lush.co.uk to protest their anti-Israel extremism.
LUSH Cosmetics has quietly closed its Beverly Hills, California location several months after a group known as “Join the Boycott LA” (www.JTBLA.com) organized a protest outside the store to expose the company’s support of PLO extremism. LUSH, with headquarters in the UK and stores in over 40 countries around the world, is using its customers’ money to support the PLO’s extremist “One World Campaign”. This virulently anti-Israel organization portrays Israel as an “illegal” occupier committing crimes against “Palestine” and grossly exaggerates the suffering in Gaza, placing responsibility solely on the Israelis.
There is much more work to be done. We urge you to ACT NOW FOR ISRAEL by sending an email to customercare@lush.co.uk to protest their anti-Israel extremism.
It has come to our attention that LUSH, a leading luxury handmade cosmetics company, gives a percentage of its profits to an anti-Israel organization called “OneWorld”. Upon visiting the OneWorld website (http://freedomoneworld.org/), it is very clear that they are supported by extreme anti-Israel groups that are sympathetic to terrorist activity against the State of Israel. For example, one of the supporting groups is called “Friends of al-Aqsa”. Visiting their website speaks for itself: http://www.foa.org.uk/.
