EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1910s, showcases the breathtaking view of the Village of Shechem nestled at the foot of Mount Gerizim in the West Bank of modern-day Israel. Mount Gerizim, a significant religious site in both Jewish and Samaritan traditions, rises majestically in the background, its peak reaching for the heavens. The Village of Shechem, also known as Sychar or Sychem, is located in the fertile valley below, surrounded by lush greenery and agricultural lands. The Village of Shechem holds historical significance as the site of the ancient city of Shechem, mentioned numerous times in the Hebrew Bible. It was here that Jacob purchased a plot of land from the local Shechemites, marking the beginning of his settlement in the land of Canaan. The village also holds importance in the New Testament as the location of the encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily life of the villagers during that era. The simple stone houses, winding streets, and open fields evoke a sense of tranquility and simplicity. The image also serves as a reminder of the rich cultural and religious heritage that continues to thrive in this region. The Village of Shechem and Mount Gerizim stand as a testament to the enduring history and complexity of the land and its people. This photograph invites us to reflect on the past and appreciate the beauty and significance of this unique place.
