And many thanks to all who’ve made their orders. Your support and patronage are greatly appreciated!

The Hilltop Youth are all over the news these days…

Approve or disapprove, it pays to know who they are and where they’re coming from.

And a new book on the life and thought of Avraham Herzlich accomplishes exactly that.

Avraham was modern Israel’s first and most famous shepherd. Originally tending his flock in the Galilee, he later moved to Kfar Tapuach in the Shomron, where he influenced thousands of Jews, young and old, of the supreme importance of conquering the land with large herds of goats and sheep — an idea as radical and subversive as it was transformative.

And the results are manifest today.

Consider: the hundred and twenty established farms and outposts in Yehuda and Shomron today control more territory that all of the official yeshuvim combined!

That in itself is testimony to the greatness of Avraham Herzlich.

Letters to a Young Shepherd is Avraham Herzlich’s revolutionary call to action, his worldview — his philosophy that created today’s Hilltop Youth and changed an entire generation — and is still as relevant and contagious as when he first espoused it.

I’ve had a number of you inquire about the lack of regular postings for nearly a year now.

Anyway, this is the reason:

Contrary to appearances, the book is neither a mere collection of letters, nor a biography, though it does consist, in part, of both those elements.

The following excerpt should clarify:

I’m adding a few pages from the introduction and, of course, encouraging everyone to buy a copy.

For those interested in a review copy, please email me at savethehilltopyouth@gmail.com. And be sure to say nice things.

Avraham was a close friend and, as many are aware, influenced today’s Hilltop Youth to take to the fields and conquer the land with flocks and without fear of the Arab enemy.

Here’s part of the intro:

The book is also available from some friendly folks in Avraham’s own Kfar Tapuach for just 50 shekels. Please email me for pick-up or delivery in the Shomron at:

Avraham was a revolutionary, and the book explains his vision and plan to forge a Third Temple Reality.

You’ll love it.

All the best,
