Shalom! and welcome to our five Youth Aliyah Villages. My name is Lior and I am very happy that you are visiting us – even if it is, at this point, on our website only.

I speak for the students living in the villages. My friends have come from all over the world. Myself and my brother have come from Russia. We arrived from a city just outside Moscow where we grew up in an orphanage.

At the Youth Aliyah Village, we have found a new home. Here, we learnt Ivrit. Here we started high-school and, most importantly, here we have friends and teachers who help us every day and in every way of life.

I have decided that the date of my new birthday is the day I arrived at this Youth Aliyah Village. For me this is the day I want to celebrate for the rest of my life. My village is my home and my family.

I hope you enjoy your visit! Just click on any of the villages listed to the left.

B’todah ubeev’rachah (With thanks and good wishes)

Lior
