Our
Troubled Homeland:
Moving to Tekoah presented an opportunity to counter the growing
rift between the religious and (so-called) secular communities
in Israel by creating a model of coexistence in the form of a
small, closely knit community…The bond of our shared commitment
to Jewish peoplehood and settlement of the land served as the
common social base that supported our differences in lifestyle
and religious outlook.

Wide Open
The Settlements from a (Different) Jewish Perspective : The settlements
are not a response to terror nor are they a security against it. They were built
before the terror attacks began and existed almost as long as the occupation
itself. They remain in place to establish us as the sole rulers of the land and
to prevent any future accord.

Life
Under Occupation: Living under occupation, suffering
from the disaster caused by settlements and experiencing the tragedy
created by the barrier, is living in a reality that damages the soul
and tortures it more than physical pain.
