Join me now, as I enter Shadmot Mechola...
Join me as I visit the community of Shadmot Mechola, a religious Zionist agricultural cooperative located in the northern Jordan Valley. A pastoral community surrounded by a vast panorama of barren hills – lush and green in the winter, brown and dry in the summertime – and agricultural lands, Shadmot Mechola is a warm and welcoming community characterized by close-knit relationships and mutual responsibility. Although it is isolated from other Jewish communities, Shadmot Mechola has everything one needs to raise a family: synagogues, daycare and schools, a medical clinic, and a warm community that is more like an extended family.
I hope to see you in Israel soon! I would love to take you to visit Shadmot Mechola and introduce you, in person, to its spiritual and welcoming pioneers. Until then, please join me on this virtual tour for a glimpse of this special community in the Jordan Valley.
God Bless,

Many teenagers in Shadmot Mechola like to wander off to remote areas to light a campfire and hang out. But, given the precarious security situation in the hills surrounding Shadmot Mechola, the youth must have a safe place to congregate and enjoy cool evenings. An outdoor park built by the teens themselves, will offer them a safe gathering space and, more importantly, show them the joy of creating and encourage their participation in the community.
