A Visit With Shmuel: Gevaot

You’re not going to want to miss the newest episode of my new series, A Visit with Shmuel, where I virtually bring you to new communities in Judea and Samaria and share their unique character. In this episode, I drop by the village of Gevaot, a community of forty families in the hills of Gush Etzion. The people of Gevaot are truly modern-day pioneers who dedicate their lives to creating a thriving utopian community. What does that mean? Tune in to my exclusive visit to Gevaot – a beacon of hope, acceptance, and inspiration, where people of all abilities can live as equals and at the same time strive for a better future and a meaningful existence.

With God’s help, we can soon resume tourism to Israel, and we can meet in person, travel across the biblical heartland, and connect with its extraordinary people. Until then, join me on this virtual tour of Gevaot.

God Bless,

Shmuel Shmuel Junger
