About the Gush Etzion Bloc
Gush Etzion is a bloc of towns located just south of Bethlehem, named for the German-Jewish businessman Shmuel Zvi Holzmann, who helped to fund the first town there 100 years ago. Holzmann means "wood" in German, and "Etzion" comes from the Hebrew word for wood, "Etz." "Gush" is Hebrew for Bloc. (ANI/TPS)
