The Eshel Hashomron Hotel, at the entrance to Ariel, has hosted numerous European Christian groups during the last six weeks. They came primarily from Germany and Switzerland, Norway and Denmark. Wherever they hailed from, they came to express support for Israel and for Ariel.

Most of the visiting groups also toured Ariel, met with Mayor Ron Nachman and enjoyed performances by Ariel's many talented singers and dancers. Some of the visitors, like the Danish group pictured above, came to volunteer in the community.
