The families choosing Givat Hashalvah are beginning to share something they have been looking forward to: time together.

During Chol Hamoed Sukkos, hundreds gathered in the development’s sukkah in Givat Ze’ev for a Simchas Beis Hashoeva with Yishai Ribo.

With music filling the sukkah and guests enjoying a festive evening just outside Yerushalayim, the gathering offered a glimpse of the community life being built here.

That community is central to the commitment behind Givat Hashalvah. The care given to the residences extends into the neighborhood around them and the experience of the families choosing it. “We are building with an uncompromising standard of quality,” said Itay Hershkovitz, CEO of developer Amim. “We are ensuring that every family gets a home and a community that meets the highest expectations without compromise.”

For Anglo frum families, feeling at home in Eretz Yisroel has much to do with the people around them. It means familiar expectations, a shared commitment to Torah life, and neighbors with whom they can build lasting friendships. Givat Hashalvah is being shaped around that understanding. The Sukkos gathering gave buyers an opportunity to spend time together and begin putting faces to the kehilla they have chosen.

One of Givat Hashalvah’s newest homeowners, Avraham Danziger, described what drew his family to the project: “We had been looking for a long time for a way to experience the kedushah of Eretz Yisroel without sacrificing the hashkafah and culture of American Torah life.” This Sukkos, those shared hopes had a place to gather.
