A home in the western Negev

Families who left Moshav Sadot in Sinai built a new agricultural and communal home at Ein HaBesor.

7 October and the evacuation

On 7 October, local defenders stopped armed attackers from entering the moshav. Residents then faced evacuation and the difficult work of returning home.

September

The courts open

Six pickleball courts opened in Ein HaBesor in September 2024. They gave the community a new place to gather after returning home.

Courts in more communities

Players of different ages now meet through EHPT, and the community is helping bring more places to play to the Negev.

Why pickleball?

Children and adults can play together. Beginners can learn alongside experienced players.
