The modern community of Shilo spreads up the hills overlooking Tel Shilo, where over 3,000 years ago the children of Israel gathered to erect the Tabernacle and to divide by lot the Land of Israel into tribal portions.
Shilo today is made up of over 200 families, of all ages and all backgrounds. The criterion for living in Shilo is the desire to live in a modern religious Jewish environment and assume the responsibilities of a pioneering society.
