What can you do to help?


Gush Etzion is beginning to host families from the south- as we did in the past for our friends up north during the Second War in Lebanon.

 

We are offering those that need a quiet place to stay, away from the trauma and shock to come to Gush Etzion.

 

For those that want  some time away the tourist  vendors will be offering very low and reduced entrance fees to our sites, families will be opening their homes and we are also looking into sponsoring activities and armored buses to bring them to Gush Etzion. Some of our residents are volunteering to do down to the shelters to the children and the elderly.

Our sites are offering from free to symbolic and low entrance fees and costs.

We would be happy to have your genorosity assist us in funding some of these activities during these emergency times. We are all in this together!

To sponsor a meal per person $5, an armored bus  for 50 people per day $500, subsidize activities per visitor from the south $5 per day. We must remember that  most people cannot work and schools are closed so we are trying to ease the daily emotional and financial pressures.
