New Construction Project Dedicated In Efrat
(IsraelNN.com) The cornerstone for a new construction project in Efrat was laid Sunday. The project is named Nofei HaPark and will be part of the neighborhood of Givat HaZayit (lit. – Hill of the Olive). Efrat is located beyond Bethlehem, south of Jerusalem, in the Gush Etzion area.
Efrat Rabbi Shlomo Riskin said at the ceremony: "The past two weeks were very difficult for all of us. The tragedy at Merkaz HaRav yeshiva is etched in all of our hearts. We have a single answer for those who murder us and wish to wipe us off the map: we shall build and we shall plant."
The ceremony was also attended by Efrat's Council Head, Eli Mizrachi.
