Shechem's people are a pure race, with strict rules about mixing too much with other religions or nationalities. Its family trees can be traced back for thousands of years, and it is here that a copy of the ancient Jewish laws can be seen. The place has two sites of interest: the Mount of Blessings and the Mount of Curses.
