Thousands of mispallalim are expected on Thursday night, the eve of 22 Sivan 5773 at the kevarim of Yehoshua ben Nun and Kalev ben Yefune located in Kafr Harris in Shomron, not far from Ariel. It has become a minhag over the past years to be mispallel at their kevarim ahead of Shabbos Parshas Shelach.
Because the kevarim are in a village under PA (Palestinian Authority) occupation, the visit is coordinated with the IDF. Mispallalim will be permitted to visit between 23:00 to 02:00. A large IDF presence will be maintained in the PA village to ensure mispallalim are protected.
Entry to the village will only be permitted from the Ariel Junction side. Persons arriving in a private vehicle will be permitted to park at Ariel Junction and use shuttle services to the tziyun.
The Yesod Olam organization arranged the event, providing buses from areas around Israel at subsidized rates.

It’s kifl hares not Kafr Harris.
Make no mistake we are truly in a very bitter galus. Hashem ad masai?

The Gemara in Sotah says from the day the Beis HaMikdosh was destroyed their hasn’t been a day without its curse. Which means until the Beis HaMikdosh is standing again we will always have Tzaaros. So saying, “Hashem ad masai? Is the wrong question to be asking. What you should be asking is, “Ad masai Beis HaMikdosh kayom (again)? The reason we don’t have a Beis HaMikdosh right now, is because we don’t give a “damn” about it!
I suppose that the mitpalilim are being protected by the same soldiers that the chareidim want to give 18 lashes every day.
