About Tekoa
Founded in 1977 just south of Jerusalem, Tekoa stands out among its fellow communities in the Biblical Heartland for its unique embrace of art as a source of resilience and healing. Home to over 200 artists and a local art center that has been supported by CFOIC Heartland, Tekoa has functioned as a central hub for cultural expression and community bonding, especially during times of crisis. With their unique spirituality and creativity, the pioneers of Tekoa, both religious and secular, foster a very special love and commitment to the Land of Israel.
Current Projects
Tekoa – Raising funds to expand their art center
In the diverse and resilient community of Tekoa, art has become a vital source of healing and hope—especially in the face of terror and war. The Madeleine Greenwald Art Center is a creative refuge where families gather for workshops, exhibits, and performances that foster unity and strength. Now, Tekoa needs your help to take its art center to the next level with the completion of an outdoor pergola fitted for winter activities. With your support, Tekoa will continue to provide a unique venue for many more visitors and artists to create, collaborate and share their pioneering Israeli experiences. Your gift will also make the dreams of aspiring artists in the Biblical Heartland a reality!
