Welcome

Thank you for visiting the new blog for Friends of Itamar. We are in the process of building this site which we hope will be a learning experience and inspiration for all. It is our goal that with our new designed website our dear friends of Itamar will get to meet the  community from up close and will receive online updates of what is going on in Itamar and its surroundings. In addition, our website will have a wealth of Torah lessons in different areas for those who are interested in learning Torat Eretz Yisrael (Torah from the land of Israel)  inspired by the spiritual setting of Itamar in the Biblical Mountains of Shomron.  We will also keep our supportors updated in the progress of our important Itamar projects through completion. We pray that G-D will bless our important work in help buidling the land of Israel and we welcome you to join our team. Thank you again for visiting our website. Shalom and blessings from the land!
About Us

The establishment of the Friends of Itamar came about as a necessary response to terror attacks perpetrated within or nearby the community. Itamar, a town situated in the heartland of Biblical Israel, has suffered more loss and bereavement than any other community in Israel.

Half of those murdered were young teenagers and children. It is not an exaggeration to say that there is not one resident of Itamar that has not been affected by these horrific tragedies directly or indirectly.

Our goal is to support community projects that will help in overcoming trauma and aid in the continual growth of the community. Over the last decade all government funds allocated to our area have virtually been cut off. Israel faces many issues today. Funding for projects must rely on charitable sources.
