Yishai Fleisher stated that the event was successful. “We’re speaking with
people about bringing groups here and letting them know what Hebron is on the map,” he
stated. “It’s deep and it’s connecting. In Hebrew we say ‘pashut le’Hithaber,’ which
means ‘simply to connect.’ And the name Hebron comes from the word le’Hithaber,” he
explained.
