Dear folks,
Just listened to your audio about Habima performing in the Kiryat Arab.
I have two questions for you.
Do you not know about the Hebron massacre of the Jews in 1929?
And do you not know what this week’s Torah portion is about, namely Avraham’s purchase of the the area which contains the Cave of Machpela as a burial place for Sarah? This transaction is recorded in detail and describes how Efron wanted to give it to Avraham as a gift but Avraham insisted on paying what was considered a handsome price for this property..and subsequently the other Matriarchs and Patriarchs were also buried there.
God bless,
Tc
