Mechola, the very first Jewish community established in the Jordan Valley after the Six-Day War, is a true pioneering success story. When a group of young idealistic religious Zionists first came to settle the region, there was nothing but desolate sweeping stretches of barren land and oppressive heat. Undeterred by the lack of habitable conditions, they remained dedicated to their dream – to make the desert bloom and fulfill Biblical Prophecy! They built homes, raised families, planted crops, and infused their community with Bible study and a vibrant religious lifestyle. The influx of second and third-generation families in Mechola is an incredible testimony to this lovely community’s success.
