Located on the western edges of the Benjamin region in the Biblical Heartland, the community of Matityahu was founded in 1981 by a unique brand of pioneers, a large contingent of whom left the lands of their upbringing and moved to Israel. The pioneers of Matityahu, in a most noticeable fashion, strongly adhere to Biblical principles and values. Some of the residents in Matityahu work the land, managing and planting agricultural fields and vineyards, reflecting the community’s exceptional blend of idealism and practical development.
