HELP FEED OUR SOLDIERS

In the heart of Israel, for nearly a decade,
      Efrat Biton has been building................

            a family, a business, a community,
                  a safe haven of comfort and sustenance 

                          for travelers throughout Samaria,
                                for soldiers defending Israel.

       

Now, after four years of relentless terror,
       the time has come to show our appreciation to the IDF,

              in order that she may continue to provide,
                    in the tradition of Abraham and Sarah,

                          rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation,
                                to all those who journey within Israel

 

 

 

 

 

 

HELP FEED OUR SOLDIERS

When soldiers are off-duty, they often stop somewhere along the road for a bite to eat, and each soldier pays his own way.
