I cant really say that much,because it is not my place. My prayers go to Shai and the family and friends,we thank you for remembering us gentiles here in the states and our situation as it is now. Hopefully we here in the U.S. will send help in whatever form to you guys there. May GOD bless Tekoa,Israel through this very difficult time and into a time of total restoration. Maybe now we americans can know a little of what the hebrews have been facing for all these years, it's a shame that manhattan's people had to suffer the wrath of terrorists,the destiny or fate of U.S.is tied to our exersise of moral responsibility or the lack thereof, and also as to how we respond to the jews as a people and as a nation. It is up to us to change,for the sake of our own land and people so that our land might be healed for a season, our enemies are many but THE LORD never sleeps, HE who watches over Zion...though weeping may endure for the night, joy will come in the morning. The blood of those two innocent boys is precious in GOD's sight, and he knows your pain.GOD shall bring judgement to the house of the guilty for he has seen it, justice will be done, for Their blood cries forth from the earth and HE knows Them, HE remembers that they are the sons of faithfull Abraham, They are in the LORD's care untill the resurrection of the sons of GOD. Yes, Tekoa and the rest of the world is darker for their passing,and when the times of jacobs trouble have passed and the real HAMASHIACH has come, then you shall see them shining in his radiance forever...allways remember this. We will mourn and we will pray that we will not become aloof to the Israelite's trials and that we will stand with them in whatever way with them in our efforts great or small.Yours was the first nation to offer to come and help those of NewYork,and when the Israelis consoled America it was from their deep compassion and understanding that they spoke,I believe, but my mind could not comprehend the grief of their loss and though I am not worthy to ! mourn

"I used to visit Tekoa during 1992-1996 almost once a week. I really liked to be there. The silence and the splendid landscape were really special.

I hope that inspite of the last events, Tekoa will be there forever.

"Shalom! My name is Tekoa...I was named after your town I think...from the Torah.  I was born in 1991.  I live in Alaska, USA. Someday I would like to visit Israel and especially Tekoa. I pray peace and harmony for your people.

"I care and love you people. DOn't think that Hashem forgot you. I am from tel aviv . I do mitsvot in tel aviv also ,I help a few synagogues but I know all Israel should be like Tekoa.  "Eney Hashem Elokecha Ba Mereshit Hashana ad Acharit Shana"".  Be'ezrat Hashem , Moshiach will end ALL our trubles.  Your friend ,  Moshe. "

"Great site! Very informative. I like the way that there's more information about a subject as you drill into it.

I hope peace and safety can be in your life.

i just want to say that you should add the option to look and read what others signed in the guest book. Otherwise, nice site!

"Would really like to visit Tekoa"
