We spent part of the afternoon in the Yishuv of Tekoa.

Tekoa is just an 8 minute drive from Jerusalem, which is surprising as most newspapers call it 'deep within the West Bank'.

Tekoa is a physically large Yishuv with a number of industries, as well as a swimming pool, a winery, and other interesting facilities.

We hung out at their horse ranch where dozens of children were learning how to ride and take care of horses and ponies.

The kids loved it, and it was a lot of fun.
