In 2000, a monastery of fifteen monks of the monastic Family of Bethlehem, of the Assumption of the Virgin and of Saint Bruno was born, not far from the monastery of monastic sisters, thanks to the benevolence of the Salesian Fathers. The monastery of Notre-Dame de Maranatha is situated on the hill of Tel Gamaliel in Bet Gemal, facing the town of Bet Shemesh. There, in the land of Judah, 30 kilometers from Jerusalem and Bethlehem, the monks keep vigil in prayer and in humble daily work in awaiting Christ’s return, according to the final words of Revelation: “Marana tha! Come, Lord Jesus!”
