ביקור באפרת וגוש עציון: מתחילים כאן
Efrat sits among the vineyards and terraced hills of Gush Etzion, about 16 km south of Jerusalem. Visitors come for the Heritage Center at Kfar Etzion, the wineries, the springs and the Herodium, and many stay for a Shabbat simcha in Efrat or at a Gush guesthouse.
