ROSH HASHANA 5770
Dear friends,
The year 5770 marks 22 years from Eretz Hemdah’s inception. We are currently actively involved in the move to our new and spacious headquarters on Rabbi Chiyah Street in Jerusalem’s Katamon neighborhood. The complex will house a Beit Midrash, library, classrooms, offices, an international continuing education center, the national office of the Eretz Hemdah Gazit Beit Din network and its local Jerusalem branch.
The table below gives a visual account of our progress in the over two decades of our serving the Jewish People
