The Shomron Regional Council has released a video documenting the return to the settlement of Sa-Nur, 21 years after its evacuation. The film intersperses rare footage from the day of the expulsion with scenes from the recent return.
Central to the video is a pledge made by Yossi Dagan, who was then the families' coordinator for the settlement and is now the head of the Shomron Regional Council. The footage, filmed by Gabi Newman, shows Dagan on the roof of the stronghold, holding a Torah scroll. Rabbi Dov Lior is seen tearing his shirt and instructing Dagan to recite the blessing "Baruch Dayan Ha'emet" (Blessed is the True Judge).
Dagan is then heard declaring, "We pledge here, before us, before the Torah, and before the world, that we and the people of Israel will return to Sa-Nur!" The video then transitions to the recent ceremony marking the return to Sa-Nur, where Dagan stated, "We have returned home. Our beloved Sa-Nur, we have returned to you again, and this time, forever!"
The video was published as part of the "Connection Program," promoted by the council with the Amena organization and government bodies. According to the council, this program aims to establish 19 settlements in the northern Shomron. Families are also featured in the video, sharing their decisions to join the settlement efforts and their sense of mission. Dagan remarked, "The entire northern Shomron is reawakening. In contrast to the disengagement plan, we are presenting the connection plan."
