Building Community - A Guide for Singles

Building Your Community

Building your community and developing a new social network is an inherent part of the Aliyah process. You can stay connected to other Olim by joining the Nefesh B'Nefesh group on Facebook. The group is open to NBN applicants and Olim, allowing you to network and connect while sharing your experiences and getting valuable updates on NBN news and events.

In addition, for more details about Nefesh B'Nefesh, our events and activities, Like our growing Facebook Page. 

Apartment Hunting

If you're looking for an apartment, http://www.diramates.com/ is a free Website for Olim who are looking for both a roommate and an apartment. The site's primary focus is on roommate matching and the site offers a comprehensive profile and search process so that people find compatible roommates. The second function of the site is an English listing of apartments and rooms in apartments available for rent or sale.
