The incoming Head of the Gush Etzion regional authority, Davidi Perl, gave the Besheva newspaper’s Jerusalem Prize to the head of the Mashab building company, Tomer Moskowitz, on Tuesday. The award was given to Mashab for their promotion of construction of homes for the national religious public in Israel in general, and in particular in the Gush Etzion community of Karmei Tzur.

“I wish for the Mashab company to continue to take part in the development and the prosperity of communities in Judea and Samaria,” Perl told Moskowitz. “The fact that a veteran company like Mashab invests in Yesha and in Gush Etzion in particular is an important public and economic statement which does not differentiate between communities in Yesha and communities in rest of the country.”
