The Architecture of True Peace * Making Gaza Jewish and Great Again!
BS”D
On Tuesday, December 2, 2025, Crown Heights Women for the Safety and Integrity of Israel hosted the first of its online events for Israel entitled The Architecture of True Peace.
Scheduled to coincide with the lunchbreak hour at 12:30pm EST and in the early evening in Israel at 7:30pm on Tuesdays during December, we hope to help buck the pattern of once again passively accepting another round of inherently flawed and failed “peace” plans for Gaza.
Our platform and guest speakers’ architectronics align with the Lubavitcher Rebbe’s common-sense, Torah-based approach that true peace is the outcome of security and settlement: the best defense is presence!
Moshe Farjun, an engineer, is the head of Farjun Development and Planning. Together with Maman Architects, the two joined forces shortly after October 7th to draft a blueprint for Gaza’s Jewish redevelopment as they recognized early on that Israeli leaders had no clear vision for the Big Day After.
The Way of the Sea – The Path to Victory, Farjun and Maman’s masterplan, has been wholeheartedly embraced by the Gush Katif Forum whose advocates are working tirelessly to advocate for it in the Knesset as are Nachala’s lobbyists for their equally impressive plan.
We began by asking Moshe, who was assisted by English speaker Gilad Libman, to talk about his introductory mission statement highlighting Gaza’s historical and spiritual connection to the Jewish People.
Moshe explained that in the face of powerful business and political interests competing for Gaza, the connection is often left out or forgotten. That’s in part because Gerar, the area’s Biblical name, is not commonly known or associated with Gaza. Yet, our forefathers Avraham and Yitzchak’s sojourn there are significant passages in the Torah; in particular we read that Yitzchak dug many wells in Gerar but the locals repeatedly plugged them, jealous of his good fortune. Still, Gilad pointed out, Yitzchak tenaciously went back again and again to re-dig them – a lesson for us today about not giving up on going back to Gaza to rebuild the Jewish community there!
Before diving into some of the details in Farjun’s plan, we segued into a discussion with Yotam Eyal, CEO of the Legal Forum, to better understand if the Disengagement Law, passed in 2004 to legitimize the expulsion of the Jews from Gaza, still poses an obstacle to re-establishing the Jewish presence there.
As many recall, four communities in northern Samaria were inexplicably added into the Disengagement Law; the nefarious, hidden intention to later serve as a pretext to likewise shut out and permanently expel Jews from Judea and Samaria. Fortunately, last year, this injustice was amended allowing for the renewal of Jewish settlements to begin flourishing once more.
The same, says Yotam, can and must happen with Gaza. Knesset Members – we’re calling on you to step up and get the ball rolling with your 61 count votes in favor! Your obligation rests on the Mitzvah of Pikuach Nefesh – to save and protect Jewish lives. The best DEFENSE is PRESENCE!
In a nutshell: it’s time to go from surviving to thriving!
Moshe and Gilad pointed out that the redevelopment of Gaza is enormously expensive and requires a solid plan in place to pay for it that should be financed by the State of Israel along with interested investors. However, the political and diplomatic echelon in Israel must make it abundantly clear that Gaza is sovereign Israeli territory; the unilateral assumption of Gaza by President Trump and his lineup of foreign and business associates is endangering Israel’s security and adding to the increase in global antisemitism.
The State of Israel’s first expenditure involves clearing away the accumulated ruins of war and unexploded ordnance as well as stabilizing the land’s surface impacted by Hamas’ vast, winding tunnels underground – an essential point repeated throughout Farjun’s plan.
We also asked Moshe and Gilad about the workforce needed to rebuild Gaza. Arabs from Judea and Samaria – who often work in construction are barred from entering Gaza. Importing workers from India and China is an option but we say why not also open up the field of construction and other blue-collar jobs with training to Jews too!
Farjun’s blueprint divides Gaza into different zones, regions and districts and wisely includes a detailed schedule for planning and implementation to assure efficiency, flexibility and progress.
The Way of the Sea – The Path to Victory introduces a fascinating mix of modern technologies and natural elements to rebuild and power Gaza. Most interesting is the innovative use of capturing floating wave energy from sea currents to power energy stations.
Making Gaza Jewish and Great has arrived!
