Itamar Security

Last night terrorists infiltrated one of our hilltop neighborhoods and opened fire on soldiers doing guard duty. Thank G-D nobody was hurt. Unfortunately, the terrorists got away. Recently there has been an escalation of attempts to steal from and harm our hilltop neighborhoods. Just last week a herd of sheep and some cows were stolen from this same hilltop. With the quick reaction of our response team the herd almost in its entirety was returned to its owners.

Itamar had a very timey and welcome visit from Colonel Nimrod Aloni who is the head of the Shomron regiment. Colonel Aloni came to discuss security matters with the Itamar council and its security committee.
Itamar stays ever vigilant and ready to keep our citzens safe and secure.

Attack On Itamar

Dear friends of Itamar.  Some of you may not have heard the news that late day Israel time January 13, there was gunfire on the hills of Itamar.  The army took control and no one was hurt.  We thank G-D for the miracle that no one was hurt.
See the update from Mayor Moshe Goldsmith on his weekly Torah Portion.

Moshe and Leah thank you all for your prayers and support.  They do feel your love.

Isaiah 40:1  COMFORT, COMFORT, My people, says your G-d.  This command is our duty and privilege.

Hello from Itamar to our dear friends around the world!

As the 2010 fiscal year is coming to a close the community of Itamar is preparing its 2011 budget and project planning. This year we hope to enhance our youth and cultural programs, strengthen our educational center, beautify our community, upgrade our infrastructure and complete our permanent synagogue.

We want to thank again our dear friends that without their constant love and support we would not be able make this dream of building G-D's Land come true.

Washington State Tour Group Visits Itamar

It was our greatest pleasure to host our dear friends Mark and Vickie Biltz together with their congregation from Washington State.

Actually, people from many other states and even other countries joined this group in their tour of Israel.  One of the highlights for them was their visit to Itamar because of the friendship that has been building with Itamar and the people of their congregation.  More Photos....

We had a great day together visiting Mt Grizim, the mountain of the blessing, and touring our town of Itamar. They planted trees and were addressed by members of the community. They are very special people and truly love the land of Israel.

The Best Way to Bless Itamar

I have traveled to Israel now since 2007, Itamar has become one of my favorite places to be in the Shomron Region. It is amazing to stand in the places where Abraham Joshua and the children of Israel have all walked, camped and built alters. To stand next to Gideon's Tomb or look upon Yosef's tomb in Shechem. There is so much history in this area but it's the people of Itamar that I have met who are the spark of life to this land. They live a quiet life, working the ground, building their businesses, teaching their kids and celebrating with others.

So what is the best way to bless Itamar?

First, the gifts you send directly to Friends of Itamar are a blessing, using Good Search on your computer is a blessing, but when the people of Itamar see your face, and get to share with your about their land in their land, that is the best way you can bless Itamar.

I am continuously asked by the people of Israel, "Tani when are you coming back?" You give us strength to keep going on. Now, it's not me who gives them strength, it's seeing people who truly care come to Israel and share truth about their life.

I travel quite frequently to Israel, so if anyone wants to really bless Itamar, join me on one of my trips! I promise you will never be the same!

My love to all in Itamar! I will see you soon.
