About Kedem Arava
Established in 2017 in the Jordan Valley just north of the Dead Sea, Kedem Arava is a small but growing community of over 60 religious and secular pioneering families. Just east of Jericho and on the border with Jordan, Kedem Arava plays a vital role in securing the eastern portions of the Biblical Heartland. Kedem Arava is also located at the site of Beit HaArava, a kibbutz that was founded in 1939, evacuated during Israel’s War of Independence and reestablished over a decade after the People of Israel liberated the Biblical Heartland in 1967. A harmoniously mixed community of secular and religious pioneers, the residents of Arava have created what they aspire to be a model, from the Biblical Heartland, of mutual love and respect between neighbors.
Current Projects
Kedem Arava – Desert Kindergarten
Kedem Arava is a small community just east of ancient Jericho, near the northern shores of the Dead Sea. The pioneering parents designed an experiential “Desert Kindergarten” to familiarize their children with the unique landscape around them. Through exploration and recreational activities, Kedem Arava’s children will develop a deep love for their corner of the Biblical Heartland, strengthening their connection to the land where they are growing up. To bring this vision to life, the families of Kedem Arava need your support to construct the educational learning space for the “Desert Kindergarten.”
The pioneering families of Kedem Arava need your help to build a specially designed play center for their precious children. Your gift will profoundly impact the lives of children in both communities. Please give to the next generation of Biblical Israel!
