The last few days in Israel have seen much anguish, particularly in the
surrounding neighborhoods of Hebron. What is it about the
holy city that makes it a frequent target for bloody terrorists? Only the
Almighty knows the true answer, but if we delve into the history of the city of
our Patriarchs we find Hebron to be central to our nation's story. Starting from
the birth of monotheism under Abraham spanning generations to the birth of the
Jewish empire under King David, Hebron stands at the core of our Nationhood. In
modern Israel, the city of Hebron represents our history, our roots in the land
of Israel, and our faith in the right to reside in the ancient city. Despite
the terror, Hebron is a city of love and peace. Learn about the history of
Hebron, and show your support during these trying times.
