Located on the northern edges of the Jordan Valley in a region which typically experiences hot, scorching summers, the prospects for establishing a new agricultural community were not promising, to say the least. However, driven by a mission to restore every corner of the Biblical Heartland, Shadmot Mechola’s founders persisted. Through hard work and with God’s blessing, they built and developed an agricultural oasis.

Forty years later, Shadmot Mechola stands as an emblem of persistence and a role model for Israeli society. But it was the close-knit relationships between the founding families that gave the community the strength to persist, despite the challenges. It is this community strength that Shadmot Mechola would like to bequeath to their children.  And there is no better way to do that than through a quality youth program.
