The newcomers will join 58 families who moved to the settlement in the past two months.
Tuesday’s celebrations are expected to including music, dancing, and speeches by right-wing politicians and rabbis. Following the event, attendants are scheduled to take part in a special prayer session for the welfare of Israel and annulment of the disengagement plan.
Among those expected to attend are Knesset Members Yitzhak Levy and Arieh Eldad, a staunch pullout objector who moved to the community recently. A member of the Likud so-called “rebels,” who object to the pullout, is also expected to arrive.
Matchmaking event
Only four months ago, Sa-Nur was an obscure village of 12 artists, most of them new immigrants. However, in recent months there has been in influx of new residents into the community.
Meanwhile, a yeshiva in Kiryat Arba, near Hebron, “adopted” the community and sends 30 yeshiva students to the settlement every week to reinforce the anti-pullout presence there.
The new arrivals live in tents for now, with families with children occupying the largest tents. Residents have also prepared a nearby area to accommodate the hundreds of youngsters expected to arrive at the settlement on the eve of the evacuation in a bid to thwart it.
Sa-Nur residents say the anti-pullout struggle will also serve as a matchmaking event and add the new couples that will meet during the battle will be future residents of the community.
