Modern Shiloh
Shiloh became an Israeli Settlement in 1978 when a group of Jewish-Israeli settlers affiliated with the Gush Emunim movement settled the location to assert revenant rights. In 1979 the Israeli government officially authorized Shiloh's status as a recognized village. At the end of 2008, the population of the village was approximately 2300. The community contains educational institutions, grocery, a Hesder yeshiva (combining military service and advanced Talmudic studies), sports fields, a pool and several synagogues, one built as a replica of the Biblical Tabernacle.
