The Bnei Akiva and Tzofim youth groups are very active.

Bar Ilan University, Shenkar College for Fashion and Textile Technology, Beit Zvi School for the Performing Arts and Ramat Gan College are four institutions for higher learning located in the city.

Transportation
Many residents own cars, though efficient and frequent bus and taxi service is available.

Olim Services
To date, the number of new Olim has been relatively low, and there has not been enough of a demand to justify Olim services. However, the municipality has an interest in welcoming Olim and promoting new programs for them.

Amenities / Services
