Making a Difference in the
Holy Land Since 1985

Welcome To The Bethlehem Association

The Bethlehem Association is a non-profit, charitable organization founded in 1985 to bring people together from North America and the rest of the world, who have strong ties to the cities of Bethlehem, Beit Sahur, and Beit Jala. Our Mission is to help and support our families and friends in the Holy Land and improve communities through established charities and scholarships. Many of our members reside in the United States and bring a rich Palestinian heritage and a desire to preserve our culture and traditions. We welcome you to our website where you will learn about the history of our organization, our goals, how to become a member and stay current on the latest news and events.
