Rechavam Ze'eviNamed for the murdered Minister of Tourism, Rechavam Ze'evi, Maaleh Rehavam, a wonderful community close to Tekoa and Nokdim in the Judean Desert is organizing a happening- Come one, Come all:

A HAPPENING IN MA'ALEH REHAVAM - a blooming community in the desert

With the coming of the winter rains an amazing natural phenomenon takes place near Ma'aleh Rehavam. In the river bed at the foot of the settlement, between the desert rocks, thousands of autumn crocuses appear, egg-yolk in color (the source of their Hebrew name - Helmoniot).

They are amongst the most beautiful of the flowers of Eretz Yisrael. The largest concentration of this rare, attractive flower is found here.

Come on Friday, November 23 or November 30, between 10:00 and 14:00, for a free tour to the beautiful flowers. There are signs for those who wish to go by themselves.

On both these Fridays a fair and an open market will be held in the center of Ma'aleh Rehavam,

* Activities for children

* Camel rides

* Home-made pitot and lemonade

* Goat cheese and olive oil

* Cakes and bread with natural ingredients

Ma'aleh Rechavam Celebrates 6th Anniversary

Hoshana Rabba 5768

From Israel National News:


Ma'aleh Rechavam Celebrates 6th Anniversary


(IsraelNN.com) The hilltop community of Maaleh Rechavam, located near the Herodion in eastern Gush Etzion and just south of Jerusalem, will be celebrating the sixth anniversary of its founding Tuesday evening.

At 5:30 PM, a sunset tour of the area is being offered, at 6:30 PM the inauguration of a new central square is taking place and from 7:30 PM onward a barbecue and music will last "to the wee hours," according to residents.

Maaleh Rechavam is currently threatened with destruction by the Olmert government.


Min. Rachvam Ze'eviMa'aleh Rechavam is an Avodah Ivrit community in the Gush Etzion area of Judea. It is named for the murdered Minister of Tourism Rechavam Ze'evi (Moledet Party).



Like many towns in Judea and Samaria, Ma'aleh Rechavam incurs continued harassment from anti-Israel organizations.

Avodah Ivrit Supportive Towns

Sukkot 5768

There are some towns in Israel which encourage businesses to be Avodah Ivrit, some which only allow Avodah Ivrit into their towns.

Such towns include Yitzhar, K'far Tapu'ah, and the community of G'vaot Olam near Itamar in Samaria, and Sde Bo'az in the Gush Etzion area of Judea.

Building and agriculture are only two of the prospering local industries.

It is important to note that Sde Bo'az is a mixed religious and secular town which sets a great example for such cooperation and unity.

Unfortunately, Sde Bo'az is also one of the communities which has been under attack by neighboring Arabs and Israeli Leftists, who come to uproot Sde Bo'az's newly planted trees,...even on Tu b'Shevat, the Jewish New Year for the Trees.

Shilo has several residents who run Avodah Ivrit businesses, including some, but not all of the local vineyards. Shilo, like Hevron, is known for its artists as well. The attached communities surrounding Shilo, such as Ahiyah and Adei Ad are Avodah Ivrit oriented.

Surprisingly, not all communities within Judea and Samaria, for example, support and encourage Avodah Ivrit.

A few years ago, the town council of Ofra, to its credit, tried to encourage Avodah Ivrit within its community. Unfortunately, one of the residents who was renovating his house at the time, threatened to sue the town through the Israeli court system, and the Ofra Town Council decided to back down.

Several Ofra residents, and residents of neighboring Amona are involved with Avodah Ivrit-based businesses. We recommend that you support these businesses.
