Katzrin, located in the heart of the Golan Heights, is surrounded by breathtaking views: to the south, the enchanting scenery of the Sea of Galilee; to the north, Mt. Hermon in all its majesty and to the west, the rolling green hills of the Galil.

There are few Yishuvim that are as centrally located as Hashmonaim, a 28 year-old Yishuv that is a popular destination for religious, English-speaking Olim. The community is warm, close-knit, and offers a multi-cultural experience in a small-town atmosphere. Many of the young-married children and their families rent and remain in the community.

The city of Karmiel lies on the main road between Akko and Tzefat, in the heart of the Beit Kerem Valley. One of Israel’s few “planned cities”, this beautiful, unique and modern city boasts continuous municipal activity to keep the city clean, and an insistence on a standard of living that is higher than the average standard of the country.

Efrat has long been a popular destination for English-speaking Olim. The community offers excellent schools, a close proximity to Jerusalem, a supportive community and a wide range of services. Efrat combines the services available in a city with the intimacy of a small community.

Givat Zeev was established in 1977 with an initial group of 100 founding families, and it has since grown to include over 18,000 residents. There are currently over 100 English-speaking families living in the Givat Zeev and Ramat Givat Zev area.

In recent years, Givat Shmuel has become a popular destination for young professionals and families. Located in the center of Israel, Givat Shmuel is flanked on all sides by major highways which allow convenient travel to other parts of the country.

Ranging from the historic Jewish Quarter of the Old City to trendy Katamon and Baka, suburban Har Nof and Pisgat Zeev, and artsy Nachlaot, Jerusalem really does have something to offer everyone. Whatever neighborhood of Jerusalem you choose, you are sure to be surrounded by fascinating sights, interesting people and all of the amenities of a modern city.
