Eitam Farm Preserving the Ancient Land of the Eitam
Visit, Volunteer, Donate The Eitam is a Biblical city in the Judean Hills.

It was referred to as “the Eitam Rock'' on account of its rocky hills, aqueducts and stone quarries that still are functional today. This is the area that Samson fled to after provoking the Philistines and where he slew myriads of the enemy. It, also, was an area considered for the First Temple on account of its location and access to water (Zevachim, 54B). Later, during Rehobaum’s reign (son of K

ing Solomon), he developed the Eitam into a walled city in conjunction with Bethlehem and Tekoa, which are nearby.

​Josephus mentions the Eitam as follows: "There was a place situated two blades (7 miles) from Jerusalem, pleasant and rich in orchards and streams of water as well. There, King Solomon would ride in his chariot” (Jewish Antiquities 8, 7, 3). Both the Jerusalem and Babylonian Talmuds mention the Eitam as a higher place from which water would flow to the Temple (Bavli Yoma 31A, Yerushalmi Yoma 3).

We are currently in the rainy season here in Israel, which started in October and goes until May. Our hearts continue to ache for those being held in Gaza. We continue to do our part to continue to preserve this land by: tending to the soil, planting, and keeping our presence on this land. If you would like to support our efforts please reach out to us here at Eitam Farm.

We often show appreciation for our volunteers and the IDF, our friends and supporters from all over the world. We would like to take some time now to thank one of our donors and supporters, without them we would not be able to have the impact were having. Today's post is dedicated to Gilad Shapira who has after one visit with his lovely family contributed substantially to the growth and the health of the Eitam flock.


אנחנו מביאים הערכה רבה ללוחמים שמגיעים עלינו, למתנדבים שעוזרים תומכים בכל העולם. חשוב לנו להדגיש שיש אנשים יקרים שבלעדיהם לא היה לנו ההצלחה וההשפעה בשטח שיש לנו היום. אז ממש תודה לגלעד ולמשפחתו... ברוכים אתם אל תרומתכם למען יישוב הארץ, הגנת הגבולות, לעתיד המדינה

The Eitam is known for its natural wild beauty, it's biblical significance and strategic importance. It is also known for its harsh winters and severe winds, our flags tear off once a month. The IDF reserve soldiers donated their own heavy duty flag and are confident that it will survive our brutal winter. We Eitam veterans are not so sure ;-)


גבעת העיטם ידוע בתור מקום אם נוף פסטורלי, חשיבותו התנכי"ת ונחיצותו האסטרטגית. היא גם מאופיינת בתנאי מזג אוויר קשוחים בחורף ובמיוחד.... רוחות סערה שקשה לעמוד מולם. חיילי המילואים היקרים תרמו לנו דגל ענק והם מאמינים שדגל זה ישרוד את החורף האכזרית הקרב ובא. אנחנו נחושים לעמוד בכל האתגרים והרוחות ולהחזיק איתן בערכים, בדגל, באדמותינו ובאמונתינו שנצח ישראל לא ישקר ולא ינחם כי לא אדם הוא להנחם.

The Eitam is known for its beauty, it's strategic importance, it's biblical history and the unique character of it's inhabitants. What is equally noteworthy is the great number of antiquities that inhabit the Eitam hills, giving it an aura of history and mystery. Feel free to book a tour by messaging us and inquiring about visiting options.



העיטם ידוע מחמת יופיו, חשיבותו האסטרטגית והיותו עיר תנכי"ת. גם חשוב לציין שלגבעות העיטם יש גם עתיקות חשובות ומרתקות. תבואו לבקר ולהתרשם ההיסטוריה, המיסטורין והסיפור המיוחד שיש לגבעות האלו לספר לנו.

Work schedule continues during winter, war, rain and shine. Sunrise prayers followed by Torah study. After that we go out to herd sheep, plough the land, chop wood and plant trees . The students, the teachers, the fighters, the guests and the volunteers all make such a huge difference.



שיגרת העבודה ממשיכה גם בימי החורף וגם בימי מלחמה, מתפללים בנץ לומדים בחברותה יוצאים לעבוד את האדמה לראות בצאן, לחטוב עצים ולנטוע עצים. גם התלמידים, גם הלוחמים וגם האורחים והמתנדבים.

Just because its planting season and the fact that we are under attack and the rains are upon us does not mean that we are can forget the Torah which is the true wellspring of life.

Since Oct 7th, we at the Eitam Farm have been heart-broken. Most of us have been called up to the front or for training for the possibility that the conflict reach our home as well. that being said, also in war time we must keep the farm functioning; from the sheep care to the ploughing and planting, pruning vines and maintaining crops. Thank you to all our supporters who have assisted us in procuring equipment needed to secure this sacred and beautiful spot.



ממלחמת שמיני עצרת אנחנו בחוות העיטם שבורי לב אך נחושים להתחזק ולחזור בכוחות מתוגברים להגן, לנטוע, לזרוע והתחבר. רוצים להודות לכל חברינו בארץ ובעולם אל העזרה ברכישת ציוד הגנתי, אסור שניתפס לא מוכנים למלחמה הקרבה ובא אך גם אסור להרפות משיגרת היום יום של המקום הקדוש הזה.

The Eitam Hill is one of the few places in Israel that still has that "frontier" and "pioneer" mentality. We are constantly doing everything we can to protect the borders of our beloved holy land, Israel.

We invite you to watch this video showcasing the story of our farm and the challenges surrounding us here on the Eitam Hill.

My buddy Mordechai defends his farm - Eitam Hill on the outskirts of Efrat in - from Jihad Zombies.

He is a Hebrew shepherd on the Land of Israel - and teaches the next generation what it is to be a follower of Hashem and lover of His Torah!

🌱 Embark on a journey back to where it all began with Eitam Hill! 🏡📚

In the early days, we laid the foundation for our cherished shuel, the nurturing ground for our boys' studies. Today, that dream is a breathtaking reality where daily services uplift our spirits. A heartfelt thank you to all the incredible souls who contributed to this inspiring journey!

Yet, our aspirations continue to flourish. We now seek your support in acquiring a security truck for the farm, expanding our beloved flock with more sheep, and restoring a caravan for our dedicated volunteers and students to relax and socialize. Your kindness has also aided us in obtaining essential weaponry and combat gear, a crucial step toward ensuring our safety.

Although our farm's gates remain limited to visitors due to heightened security measures, your unwavering support fuels our optimism. Together, let's envision the day when we can warmly welcome visitors back to this haven. Your continued generosity means the world to us! 🙏🌟
