A two-week break at Ammunition Hill in Jerusalem, complete with entertainment and outdoor activities, offers a much-needed respite for families grappling with rocket fire and arson.
“We needed to build a safe road for the communities,” said Shani Abrams Simkovitz, director of the Gush Etzion Foundation. “There was really nothing here. Now people can bicycle, walk freely on Shabbat and during the week and play—all on a well-lit recreational space.”
JNF support for those literally on the line of fire: Nine fire wagons contain industrial-sized water canisters, and can tackle the area’s rugged landscape faster and more effectively than firetrucks.
