Giv’at HaMoreh, Afula
The Torah community of Giv’at HaMoreh was established six years ago, and from a core group of 10 families of avreichim, has grown to over 200 families that live in the Giv’ah, in homes that, for the most part, were bought by them.
The Kehilla has the following educational institutions: a well-established and renowned cheider (which preceded the Kehilla), a Beis Yakov elementary school for girls, preschools, several kollelim, a new yeshiva ketana, and a respectable yeshiva gedolah with about 200 bochurim. There are also several shuls, a low-cost sale of basic goods, a branch of the “Mishnat Yosef” weekly sale, several chain stores, and all community needs.
There are various job opportunities in the city, as well as public transportation to the Chareidi population centers with increased service on Erev Shabbos & Yom Tov. The Kehilla was established for the purpose of having more-affordable housing available for young couples and has successfully maintained affordability by having all homes purchased exclusively through the Kehilla’s housing committee to avoid competition and keep the demand to the level of supply.
Natzrat Illit / Har Yona Gimmel
Here we have a mix of out of town feel and style, with all the advantages of being a city.
In the heart of the older neighborhoods exists a small, but steadily growing, close-knit Chareidi community of about 20 young families of B’nei Torah. Although almost exclusively Israeli, most of the community understands English, and being with an “out the box” atmosphere, are very accepting of anyone looking to join. The community is based around a kollel, though those working are no less a part.
The women meet once a month for a get together, and being far from family, are all there for each other, helping with meals, babysitting, Shabbos and more as needed.
Come add the special touch that only chutzniks can. You’ll be more than welcome!
The kehillah is located 10 minutes away from more- established Chareidi communities, with a variety of chinuch options from Mamlachti Chareidi to Yiddish- speaking – with options in between!
Also located in Natzerat Illit, Har Yona Gimmel is one of the only neighborhoods in the northern periphery cities populated exclusively by Chareidim. Rent is very affordable. There are kollellim, education institutions, and work opportunities. It is home to families from a range of backgrounds, including Litvish, Sephardic, Belz and general Chassidish.
Tzefas
The Kehilla of B’nei Torah in Tzefas is a quality Kehilla numbering hundreds of families that have moved in over the past few years. There are several quality educational institutions serving about 600 students of all ages.
The city of Tzefas, in general, is of Jewish character, undergoing a rapid “Charedization” with a variety of Chareidi Kehillos numbering altogether about 3,000 families.
The city possesses all necessary infrastructure such as a Beis Horo’oh, banks, government services, medical clinics, etc. Transportation from Tzefas to the center of the country is readily available and comfortable with about 100 trips a day.
There are also a wide variety of work options available.
Rechasim
Located at the foot of the beautiful Carmel Mountain Range, Rechasim is a gorgeous makom Torah. It offers the advantages of small town living with a large city nearby (Haifa). Life is much quieter than in the city, children can walk alone on the streets (day or night), people know one another.
The city is approximately 90% Chareidi, the mayor and city council are Chareidi.
A warm, down-to-earth community which is a great place to raise young children, to make friends, to live a frum and calm life, with more and more young Anglo couples moving in.
T’veria Illit
While being a new community where everyone who moves in is a valuable member of the tzibur, T’veria Illit is also part of an ancient city, with a rich history and Kivrei Tzadikim.
Aside from the wonderful Torah and Ruchnius infusing life in T’veria, there is also the gashmius. The heimishe infrastructure is well developed and getting better all the time. There are bakeries, large grocery stores, and medical clinics catering to Chareidim.
The positive impact of being able to have a close and personal relationship with tzaddikim and gedolim, who are among the many people coming from all parts of the country to spend Shabbos in T’veria, cannot be overstated.
There is also the wonderful, pleasant feeling of the city. Quiet and relaxed, with views of the Kinneret, the Golan, and Tzefas. Drivers stop for pedestrians with a smile. Warm and inviting, T’veria is a city of achdus.
Ma’aleh Amos
Half an hour south of Yerushalayim is the entirely Chareidi yishuv of Ma’aleh Amos, which is currently home to 50 veteran families who have been recently joined by another about 30 who moved into newly constructed apartments. An additional 20 families are on their way.
There is a local Cheider, elementary Bais Yaakov, pre-schools, a library, shiurim, learning programs for boys, workshops for boys, girls, and women.
The American-born Mara D’Asra is accessible to all.
The very diverse, but exclusively Chareidi, population includes Israelis, Russians, Americans, American- Israelis, Ashkenazim, Sephardim and Chassidim, avreichim, part-time avreichim, baalei batim, FFBs, ba’alei teshuva, and geirim. There is more development planned. About 1200 units will be built, BE”H, in the long term, on a neighboring hill.
And we haven’t even mentioned Ofakim, Yerucham, Meitzad, Karmiel…
