Dolev

Dolev is a growing suburban religious community located about 20 minutes from Modi’in.  Dolev was founded 30 years  ago by families who wished to fulfill the mitzva of yishuv ha-aretz, and contribute to Am Yisrael through involvement in social and educational projects. In Dolev, one can find a warm Torani community of about 250 families, excellent local education, and a relaxed, welcoming environment. Hundreds of children enjoy their freedom and space.  Halacha  is the basis of our lifestyle, and the rabbi is consulted on public issues.  There are daily shiurim for adults and children, after-school activities, cultural events, medical and dental clinics, a semi-olympic pool, and more.  Dolev is an Israeli yishuv with a well  integrated English speaking population.
