For the first time in 2,000 years, Israel is carrying out major conservation work at the Tomb of the Patriarchs in Hebron, upgrading the ancient holy site with a permanent roof, electricity, air conditioning, drainage, lighting and fire-safety systems.
The project is more than maintenance. It is a historic assertion of Jewish responsibility at one of Judaism’s holiest places, after years of blocked upgrades and international attempts to reframe Hebron’s Jewish identity.
