What
Rabbi Eitan meets your group in the Gush Etzion area or in Jerusalem for an hour long encounter including a lecture and a question and answer session. Small groups (10 or less) may be invited to the Rabbi’s home in Tekoa for coffee if the timing is right. Alternately, meetings can take place outdoors, or in the client’s hotel in Jerusalem. A brief tour of Tekoa including a short hike with a breathtaking view can be included in a two hour session.
