correspondent for the Jewish Chronicle 2025 12:57Women's Purim event at Kehillat Shevet Achim in NetanyaBy Daniel Ben-David 3 min readA British majority expat community and synagogue in Israel is “bursting at the seams” after experiencing a seven-fold increase in size in as many years Having started casually with just ten families getting together in a member’s flat the modern Orthodox community of Kehillat Shevet Achim in Kiryat Hasharon has since mushroomed to more than 70 families and more than 200 children with upwards of 40 per cent of its adult members British born The community’s rapid growth has meant they are now raising funds to purchase a larger part of a local kindergarten the community has been renting British Israeli community member Adam Finn told the JC with all activities besides services forced to take place outside The community has identified a space for a future home and has already raised nearly seven million shekels of the total nine million shekels (about £2 million) required “Then we can really begin to expand our services and welcome even more people straight off the boat We’re at the point now where we literally don’t have the room to grow.” predominantly from Manchester but also from Borehamwood has brought the “best” of the British Jewish community’s customs and ideals “There’s a definite emphasis on inclusivity which was inspired by the British Jewish community that many of us were raised in,” Finn The British influence on the community is further evident through a weekly football game during which “the Brits show the Americans how the game is meant to be played”; a “fiercely competitive” fantasy football league and the occasional community-run pub quizzes to raise money for charity Familiar customs and the fact that everyone speaks English has made for “a very soft landing” in the Jewish state for numerous immigrants over the last few years “Our community’s group chat is constantly announcing the arrival of a new couple or family with people volunteering to give them a tour of the community or host them for Shabbat dinner.” Netanya is “the best place” in the country to bring up families with a strong community of young professionals the community is made up of members from ten other countries with the average age of adults estimated to be between 30 and 35 “Everyone brings the best of the community they were brought up in,” Finn said The shul is led by Rabbi Aharon and Shira Herskovitz and who were previously educators for Bnei Akiva in London the community hosts events throughout the week who made aliyah from the UK three years ago said: “Us parents are here struggling with the language and they’re going to flourish here in the future Wagner’s own parents were “core members” of Borehamwood and Elstree United Synagogue and helped to develop the community from the early 1980s onwards I’m doing something similar to what they did then,” Wagner said “That responsibility of strengthening and contributing to a community that is in its early years has been passed down to me It’s so easy to build an amazing group of friends here who are always looking out for each other and offering a helping hand There is so much activity and excitement to be [in the country] within this community.” She added: “Living in Israel can be a mixed bag of emotions in light of the war and hostages but ultimately this is the only place we would want to be and She said that even though “it can be a sad state of affairs that three to five-year-olds in Israel know what to do when there is

in southwest Netanya suggest that the neighborhood is set to become one of the city's most exclusive addresses with apartments likely to sell for over NIS 4 million The neighborhood is near the cliffs overlooking the sea north of the Iris Nature Reserve and west of the Winter Pond Park and Agamim neighborhood The new high-rise homes will be separated from the Mediterranean by a promenade and strip of hotels The new neighborhood will be built as two rectangles between which there will be a street crosses it its length The western border of Shirat Hayam will be a scenic seafront road while its eastern border is Ben Gurion Boulevard 27 towers of 16-19 floors with 1,842 housing units to be built on 126 dunams (31.5 acres) The current auction included land for 11 towers and 749 housing units The average apartment area will be 115-127 square meters in five-room apartments The plan also includes five lots for public buildings and institutions The planning and proximity to the sea position Shirat Hayam as a potential future rival to Netanya's prestigious Ir Yamim residential neighborhood The auction shows that the westernmost lots were priced significantly higher than the lots more inland adjacent to Ben Gurion Boulevard which will have a more restricted view of the sea The developers are paying NIS 1.8-1.9 million per housing unit (not including VAT and development costs) for the lots closer to the sea while the lots more distant from the sea are priced at NIS 1.5 million per housing unit The auction attracted a major response in the current market climate from development companies and 45 bids were submitted for the six lots The winning companies offered bids of 60-70% of the appraised value about NIS 1 million per unit in the lots located in the eastern part of the plan and about NIS 1.15 million per unit in the lots located in the western part of the plan The development costs add another NIS 200,000 per housing unit Real estate appraiser Moran Ganon observes that many residential towers and new neighborhoods have been built in Netanya in recent years an auction was held in the north of the city in the neighborhood just south of Havatzelet Hasharon The auction was part of the government subsidized Buyer Price Program and bids reached NIS 900,000 per housing unit some 10%-20% below the land price in the Shirat Hayam auction Due to the special circumstances of a Buyer Price program in a neighborhood that is expected to be prestigious several auctions were held for the Agamim neighborhood and prices of NIS 1.2 million were received for land for 120 square meter apartments the lots in Shirat Hayam were sold at a low price "It's possible that contractors anticipated the great difficulty in marketing to buyers who have many alternatives due to the large number of residential towers being built in the city Another possible reason for the 35% reduction in the ILA assessment is the high financing costs in the market today and perhaps also due to unclear trends in the country." Ganon says prices of second-hand apartments in nearby Ir Yamim currently sell for about NIS 35,000 per square meter This is a price level that market sources believe Shirat Hayam's developers should have no difficulty in obtaining Published by Globes, Israel business news - en.globes.co.il - on August 28 a city councillor in the British city of Bournemouth called for the city to “de-twin” from the Israeli city of Netanya in a bid to protect its “reputation” amid the war in Gaza put forward a motion for the seaside resort in Dorset to end its association with Netanya which has been twinned with Bournemouth since 1995 He claimed that the “plausible case for genocide” against Israel meant Bournemouth should protect its reputation by severing its ties with the town Salmon’s call comes after signs twinning Netanya with Bournemouth were removed from four separate locations around the Dorset town in a coordinated campaign The proposal sparked fury from Bournemouth’s sizeable Jewish community and saw dozens of pro-Israel activists stage a counter-protest outside the town hall during the meeting a Holocaust survivor and member of the Bournemouth Jewish community “We have been keeping a very low profile so as not to antagonize the Palestinian supporter group Jewish people are starting to get a bit fed up It’s time we have a little bit of kickback.” of the Bournemouth Community Hebrew Congregation said there was a deep strength of feeling against the motion to de-twin Bournemouth with Netanya A spokesman for the Bournemouth Palestine Solidarity Movement said they will continue to campaign for Bournemouth to end its association with Israel “Although the motion was removed from the agenda our fight to untwin Bournemouth from the apartheid regime on trial for genocide continues and genocide are not the principles on which the people of BCP stand,” said the spokesman
