Ein Dor
  Selections from classical Torah sources which express the special relationship between the People of Israel and Eretz Yisrael EIN DOR Following the death of the Prophet Shmuel, King Saul found himself facing a mighty force of Philistine invaders. When his efforts to gain Divine communication on how to proceed proved fruitless, he desperately sought to make contact with the spirit of Shmuel through a woman medium who lived in Ein Dor. The unhappy prophecy he received from this contact was that his army would be vanquished and that he and his sons would die in battle. (Shmuel I 28:3-19) Near this spot opposite Mount Tabor in the north of Israel is the modern kibbutz of Ein Dor. |
