Today we took a tour Gush Etzion – a Jewish settlement in the West Bank, not far from Jerusalem. We had a chance to see the landscape and see how the people live in the hostile environment. We watched a documentary on the city and about how the city was restarted on three different occasions due to wars. We also got to hear from the Mayor of Gush Etzion.
Later in the evening we heard from the father of Koby Mandell. Koby and a friend were brutally murdered in 2001 at the age of 13 when attacked by Arab terrorists while hiking near their home. The family has since set up a foundation to help families who have been affected by terror.
We headed to the Gush Etzion Winery where we had a quick tour of the winery, followed by a fantastic dinner.
