Ra'anana

In 1922 Ra'anana was founded by a small group of settlers from New York City and today it is one of Israel's most thriving and prosperous Cities. At the very least it maintains a middle class North American life style. It is located between Tel Aviv and Netanya and has about 80,000 residents. About 35% are English and has become a prime location for settling English speaking Olim.

G-d has reached down to touch this city bestowing His Blessings on it.
If you could speak to Ra'anana what would you say to her? You might say, "I.Love you more then all the cities of Israel. You are more precious than Rubies"
The city has been built with wisdom. Besides the abundance of Olim from English speaking Nations you will find many from France, South America and Russia.

These people enjoy a quality of life not bettered anywhere in the world. From education to culture and sports this is 10 on a scale of 10. Enjoy the beautiful parks and gardens in this well planned out city which has been awarded the international standard ISO 9002. Ra'anana has over 100 public parks, playgrounds and gardens. Also very good cycle paths and even a small children's zoo.

Our G-d spoke to us through the prophet Yirmeyahu (Jerimiah) and said,...

"I Love you with an everlasting Love; this is why in My grace I draw you to Me. Once again, I will build you; you will be rebuilt, Virgin of Yisrael...." Yir.31:2,3
This is the place your children will love. They will thank you for bringing them here because of all the activities they can enjoy.

From the very small to the grown teenager there will be no shortage of activities for them to do. Ra'anana is the home of many sports teams. Just name it and they have it. Basketball, volleyball, soccer , baseball, judo, cricket, bowling and more. North Americans will love the baseball.

As mentioned above there are other activities that the young people of Ra'anana enjoy.


The Ra'anana municipality has poured 40% of its budget into education and the fruit of this effort has come forth. Today they have an award winning educational system partly because of the many innovative educational programs. There are secular and religious. There are also English speaking classes for those who are new comers who do not yet know the local language.Below are two photos of the Ra'anana Aviv High School.

After high school there is the Ra'anana College providing a variety of good courses. Recently the Open University moved its head quarters to Ra'anana giving its citizens close access to first rate learning. At Open university a person one can go all the way for a Bachelor's degree.

The term Open means that a person does not need to have some prior academic achievement in order to earn entry into the university. It is open to all who want to learn.

A Jewish witness to the Land of Israel thought to himself. "Israel Is literally the worlds best kept secret. I have come to realize what many Jews around the world have failed to realize, and that is, what a great Land that our God has given us. His great arm is at work bestowing on His people prosperity.

God is fulfilling His Covenant and promise to Avraham that his descendants would inherit this Land forever."

Kiryat Gat

Kiryat Gat is one fine Israeli city, however it is one that few know about and fewer have ever seen. Still, despite its some what veiled presence in the Holy Land it is a young plant beginning to give bloom to its flowers and also project its presence around the world.

Located part way between Tel Aviv and Beer Sheva, this blossoming all Jewish city of close to 50,000 good souls, is nothing short of an excellent place to live and raise a family.

Come and stroll in one of the Kiryat Gat parks. Enjoy yourself in sunny Israel.

In ancient days this area David slew the giant by the name of Goliath of Gath. (Heb. is Gat). Thus the name Kiryat Gat. Today it is home to the Jewish people who inherited this land according to the promises G-d made to Abraham.

As said previously Kiryat Gat area was home to the Giant named Goliath in ancient days. However now that he and his ancient people the Philistines who troubled the children of Abraham are gone, another Giant has come to settle here.




That is Computer Giant Intel founded by Andrew Grove the Jew and inventor of the modern day Pentium silicon chip that operates computers around the world. This Giant of a man was 1997's Time Magazines man of the year. He has changed the world forever.

In 1999 Intel opened its 1.6 Billion dollar plant manufacturing Micro Processors and employed about 2,000 people. Now in 2008 Intel is completing another manufacturing plant in the Kiryat Gat south industrial zone. The cost of this plant is an astounding 3.6 Billion dollars. It will employ thousands of more workers, therefore the profound effect that the little city of Kiryat Gat will have on the world will not be able to be measured. See the photo below of this mammoth facility spanning several buildings.

Kiryat Gat is in an excellent location. Not only is it less the 70 kilometers to Jerusalem is is less then 50 kilometers to the Ben Gurion University in Beer Sheva.

So what do you say? Have one last look at this special city and consider moving the Ark for your soul to a resting place set aside for the children of Abraham.
