Tekoa Thanks You

Dear Friends,

The people of Tekoa have prepared a special short video for you to thank you for your generous support for their community over the years. Thanks to you and other generous CFOIC Heartland donors, we have been able to assist Tekoa with vital security needs, as well as educational and cultural programs.

This isolated community in the Judean Desert is a shining example of the Biblical Heartland revitalizing right in front of our eyes. This video really captures the picturesque atmosphere of this cheerful and harmonious community, introduces its soulful and creative people, and offers you a glimpse of the beautiful new art center – the heart and soul of Tekoa.

Your support for Tekoa has blessed the pioneers of Judea and Samaria who are fulfilling prophecy as they grow and build in our land. With your help and the help of others like you, we are changing the lives of people in the communities of Israel’s Heartland! Your help and encouragement have made a real impact on Tekoa. May G-d bless you richly for all you have done for Israel.

Sincerely,

Sondra Baras signature
