Gush Etzion and Efrat Support Sderot
Last week the vendors from Sderot were invited to sell their wares to the community of Alon Shvut . By purchasing goods from Sderot the residents expressed their support for the businesses that do not generate a sufficient income. Next week there will be an additional opportunity to purchase goods in Efrat.
Many residents of Gush Etzion are preparing packages to send to our soldiers on the front. Others are hosting families from the south. In addition, some children have been integrated into our classrooms. The Shalva Center in Alon Shvut has also opened its doors for children with special needs.
The local JCC ( Matnas) of Gush Etzion is also involved in sending volunteers to shelters to work with the families and children.
We continue to pray for the speedy recovery of our wounded soldiers and for the safety of our troops and the residents in the south.
