Kibbutz Ein Tzurim, Ein Tzurim

The guest house of Kibbutz Ein Tzurim, a religious kibbutz in the Shafir valley, with 60 rooms and cabins among the lawns, Shabbat meals in its dining room and halls for family Shabbatot and groups

Ein Tzurim's guest house stands in the heart of the kibbutz, beside its working cowsheds, the founders' original huts and the Ein Tzurim lookout. The kibbutz was founded in Gush Etzion in 1946; its members spent nine months as prisoners in Jordan after the 1948 war and rebuilt it here in the Shafir valley in 1949. The guest house has five kinds of rooms, from cabins with private decks to three family apartments, 60 units in all by its own counts. Its dining room serves three Shabbat meals from a caterer's menu, meat on Friday night and Saturday morning and dairy or pareve at the third meal, and four halls for 40 to 100 people serve family Shabbatot, bar mitzvahs, workshops and conferences. Guests can use the kibbutz synagogues and, from June to August, its swimming pool, and there is a playground, football and basketball pitches and hammocks on the lawns. Café Lychee, the kibbutz coffee cart with pastries baked on the spot, opens on weekdays a short walk away.
