The newly restored Joseph’s Tomb site and headstone were inaugurated in Nablus Wednesday night after being destroyed during the second Intifada when Palestinians took control of the structure. Some 2,000 people, including Ministers Moshe Kahlon, Yuli Edelstein and Daniel Hershkowitz attended the ceremony.
"It is our duty to resume prayers, activities and ensure constant presence at Joseph’s Tomb," said Science and Technology Minister Daniel Hershkowitz.
Samaria Regional Council chief Gershon Mesika, Rabbi Elyakim Levanon, who serves as the Samaria regional rabbi, rabbis and other officials also took part in the event.
Hershkowitz recited a short prayer and few verses of psalms. In his speech he said, "According to the Oslo accords the Tomb belongs to the State of Israel. "
