How are people coping in Israel?

Join me now, as I enter Eshkolot…

This is my first visit in Eshkolot in many years and it has grown by leaps and bounds. An isolated community, utterly enveloped by enemies at the southern tip of the Hebron Hills, Eshkolot faces continuous threats from hostile neighboring Arab villages. Instead of allowing fear and terrorism to define their reality, the brave pioneers of Eshkolot have worked tirelessly to advance their vision of settling and growing a Jewish presence in the Hebron Hills, with enthusiasm and a cheerful outlook. You would not think that a community located only a few short minutes’ walk from a hostile Arab village would attract so many new families, but thanks to their strong commitment to settling the Biblical Heartland and positive attitude, these brave pioneers are celebrating their 30th year.

Of course, I would prefer to take you to Eshkolot in person and introduce you to these dedicated, wonderful pioneers. But until then, join me for this virtual tour and get a sense of this inspiring community in the Hebron Hills.

God Bless,

Living in an isolated, vulnerable community is challenging for Eshkolot’s founding members and senior residents. These seniors want to fill their days with meaningful social activities. Not having a local senior center makes these activities beyond their reach due to limited mobility and lack of transportation. Eshkolot needs your help to care for and honor their older residents by establishing a local senior center. These seniors dedicated their youthful energy to settling this Biblically and strategically significant area in the Hebron Hills. You can honor these aging pioneers and provide them with a better quality of life in the Biblical Heartland.
