Climb up Mt. Gerizim, the Mount of Blessing, and 'take the oath to obey God's commandments,' as the people of Israel did some 3300 years ago. Enjoy a wonderful panoramic view as you walk to the Way of the Patriarchs. It will be a great opportunity to talk about the Samaritans, their religion and culture, and to see their sacrifice altar.

There is also an option to enter the Samaritan Museum, which is not included and is based on availability, to hear more detailed explanations from the Rabbi.
