[COMMUNICATED CONTENT] The Ramat Givat Zeev neighborhood marks another historic milestone: Schools in the neighborhood will open especially for new olim from the United States who will be settling there.
The news about Ramat Givat Zeev, the highest quality neighborhood being built for members of America’s Orthodox communities, has spread rapidly and has been very well received. The news of the first Orthodox American community being established in Israel—with all the necessary community institutions—has led many people to decide to make aliyah and move to the new neighborhood, which is being tailored to their needs.
Now that construction has begun, the neighborhood’s developers have consulted rabbanim and education experts as they prepare to open schools especially designated for the children of the olim. These are the first schools in the country being built entirely on a framework that suits the needs of the olim children. The schools are being overseen by educational figures who will help the children integrate into Israeli society.
Ramat Givat Zeev is Chish Nofei Israel’s flagship project, and most of the rabbanim in the United States have defined it as the most suitable for Americans seeking to realize the dream of making aliyah to Eretz Yisrael. The project offers exclusive advantages to ensure maximum absorption to their new home, with emphasis on a warm, homogenous community that includes a plethora of community institutions that suit the mentality of the residents. The residential neighborhood offers luxurious and exclusive homes with rich technical specifications, spacious green parks and shopping centers. Likewise, the neighborhood, located just north of Jerusalem, combines a tranquil, suburban atmosphere nestled in the breathtaking views of the Jerusalem Hills, with the convenience of being in close proximity to the Torah and chassidic centers in the capital city.
The establishment of schools for the children of the olim is an important factor in the uniqueness of the neighborhood, which is being built with the full understanding of the needs of olim, and enables them to move to a new community with peace of mind.

I dont want to be that guy … But… What hashkofa will the community be
“most of the rabbanim in the United States have defined it as the most suitable for Americans seeking to realize the dream of making aliyah to Eretz Yisrael”
Who are these “most”? I’ve talked to ones who are in E”Y who say otherwise, so at most, it’s a machlokes.
“nestled in the breathtaking views of the Jerusalem Hills” means squished in between the other hills surrounding Givat Ze’ev.
BTW, there’s still snow (2 weeks after the blizzard) that is still lying on part of the empty mountain.
You both have serious Middos issues…..
With wishes for a successful absorption.
If this really works the aliyah from anglo-America will increase. Schools need to be educational sound, with a core curriculum, warm and caring staff. Professional with extra curriculum activities. Accepting and understanding.
I find this article totally confusing. In order for a school to be a “state school” (funded by the government) it has to follow a core curriculum. any extras (such as what american olim would want/require) would NOT be covered by government funding. size class, as well, are government mandated. UNLESS you are a private school (such as many cheders, charging tuition) you are very limited fund-wise. In order to have a program that would please an american based educational framework, the parents would have to fund the extras. The government build the buildings, supply the desks, etc. Certainly not to American specifications.
I wonder how they will make this work.
Ha ha! I crack up every time I see an advertisement for this neighborhood.
Jerusalem hills- really?!!
Much hatzlacha for the people moving there, im just hoping people are aware of where they are moving to.
“Breathtaking views of the Jerusalem Hills”? Maybe w/ binoculars. I hope people realize that this is pretty much as connected to Jerusalem as Beit Shemesh, meaning you’ll visit Jerusalem once a year.
Yid613 dont give toelies to those who will not listen
#5 One way to be more “American=friendly” is by hiring a professional staff that is trained not only academically yet with a strong touch of Health & Emotional Awareness.
The schools will end up being Charedi-Lite, yes funded also with a minimal tuition for extras.
I know a bunch of families that are making Aliya that bought there, it’s very close to Jerusalem. looks like a great place
