		Efrat was founded 25 years ago precisely to reach out to these women and offer them their first choice by providing financial and social support.
		Efrat provides these women with a monthly check to the grocery store of their choice for a year, matches each woman up with an Efrat volunteer (there are 2,800 Efrat volunteers from Metula to Eilat) and provides free baby equipment, including a crib, stroller, bathtub, blankets, clothes and diapers.
		Efrat has found that it only takes about $1,000 in support per case to tip the scales for thousands of poor pregnant women to decide in favor of bringing their babies to term.

	Socialist Viewpoint
		Efrat is correct to say, “The most urgent task facing the Palestinian people is to build an alternative leadership which will fight the Occupation on a new and different basis.” We will vote for that statement with both hands.
		Efrat has devoted many paragraphs to Hamas, Islamic Jihad a split of Fatah, a split of The Tanzim, the notoriety of Barghouti, etc. I do not see why none of these meet his definition of “a serious attempt at alternative leadership.” He makes much of their mistakes and little of their future.
		Efrat insists that connecting the Palestinian struggle with those of the working class around the world is the key to success.

		Shoppers strolling through the supermarket in Efrat expressed identical feelings to Levy's, young and old alike articulating the very same sentiments: The plan is unrealistic, Beilin is a nobody, he has no legitimacy, he was given no mandate to negotiate with anyone, he was not even elected to the Knesset in the most recent elections.
		Because of that history, all the settlements within the Etzion bloc — known as the southern gateway to Jerusalem, which is 20 minutes to the north — were always considered part of the Israeli consensus as land that would be retained in any agreement.
		Most people in Efrat prefer to be within the fence, as a signal to all that it is a permanent part of Israel, as well as for security concerns.

		Alony is a duo, consisting of the Berlin-based native of Haifa, Efrat Alony and pianist and arranger Mark Reinke.
		Efrat Alony’s voice constructs itself so naked and unadorned in front of the listener’s ear, that it is at first often a shock.
		It would be foolhardy to tie Efrat Alony to one genre, and inappropriate to invent a new one for her.

		While Efrat is considered a "Settlement" and therefore its inhabitants are "settlers", it really is just a suburb of Jerusalem.
		Efrat is at a higher elevation than Jerusalem and therefore colder (and much colder than Modiin).
		Efrat is primarily a religious community and one can walk in the street on Shabbat without worrying about cars.

		To omit the information that Efrat is an illegal Jewish-only settlement established in 1980 inside the occupied West Bank was to make a nonsense of the commentary.
		The Israeli girl complained that she "can't understand why the world can't see it the way it is," and whined that she and her friends have to go to school in a bullet proof bus.
		But for Palestinians, on whose seized land Efrat is built, Jerusalem is an eternity away, besieged as they are so that settlers can live in pretend oblivion to the price of their forced and illegal presence in someone else's country.

		Although many of those who work for Efrat are Orthodox, Efrat is not a religious organization, and Solomon said 95 per cent of the women they counsel are not religious at all.
		Efrat acknowledges that every woman has the right to choose whether or not to have her baby, but stresses that it should be an educated decision.
		With its army of 3,000 volunteers (many of whom were helped by Efrat), Efrat has helped many women to choose the life of their babies over abortion.

		On one occasion, Arabs were prevented from entering Efrat ostensibly for their own protection a day after a particularly gruesome terror attack elsewhere in the country.
		Efrat was founded in 1982, and early on, Riskin began efforts to forge meaningful relationships with the Arabs who live in villages scattered around Efrat in the Judean Hills south of Jerusalem, in the region known as Gush Etzion.
		Last year, vandals entered one of Efrat’s synagogues in the middle of the night and damaged books and spray-painted anti-Semitic graffiti on the walls of the sanctuary.

		Efrat is the largest community in the Gush Etzion area, with some 7,000 people.
		Although today a small city in its own right, Efrat was founded by two pioneering individuals — a survivor of one of the Gush Etzion kibbutz settlements destroyed by the Jordanians in 1948, and a prominent Orthodox rabbi from the U.S. The first residents moved into their homes in the spring of 1983.
		Efrat is the biblical name for Bethlehem, noted for the burial place of Rachel: “And Rachel died, and was buried on the way to Efrat, which is Bethlehem.” (Genesis 35:19)

		Today, when I walked into Efrat at 4 pm, cops were present at the south gate in great numbers, and the center of the town was awash in orange.
		Apparently, they arrested one Efrat woman known to be quite active, and took her into a car.
		Efrat residents apparently responded by blockading the two entrances to Efrat, and the police only got her out of the town by holding her down in the seat, out of sight.

		Yet, despite the threats to their lives from Arafat and the Palestinian Authority, the people of the Arab villages near Efrat gathered in an emergency town meeting to issue a statement denouncing the attack in the strongest of terms.
