“Now
Abram was very laden with livestock, silver, and gold. He proceeded on his
journeys from the south to Beit El to the place where his tent had been at
first, between Beit El and Ai, to the site of the altar which he had erected
there at first; and Abram invoked HaShem by Name.” B’resheet.13:2,
3, 4
It was in 1977
that a few students of the Mercaz Harav Yeshiva in Jerusalem got together and
established a tiny community with a Yeshiva on the top of a hill. Today Beit El
is a town of close to 5,000 souls. They are religious and about 30% are English
Olim.
