PLANTING
Friday, 19th Shvat, 5769, February 13, 2009 at 9:30 a.m.
After a lengthy court challenge, the Eitam’s legal status as State Land has been confirmed and finalized. There are no longer legal impediments to the settlement of Efrat’s largest hill, conceived in the city’s master plan as a neighborhood of 2,500 housing units.
We will thank G-d and celebrate Tu B’Shvat by going up to the Eitam to strike our collective roots there.
With the participation of:
Oded Revivi, Mayor of Efrat
Rabbi Shlomo Riskin, Rabbi of Efrat
Efrat City Council Members :
Josh Adler, Becky Avner, Yehiel Ben Eliyahu, Lavi Carmon, Moshe Cohen, Ruth Golan, jack lavi, Tidhar Shimoni
The event has been coordinated with the security forces. We will leave in private cars from the Zayit (next to orot Etzyon Girls school). At the end of the road there is a 10-15 min.walk to the hill.
“And I will plant them upon their land” (Amos 9;15)
