“New karavilot project for Olim 2009″

New Kochav Yaakov building project for “olim” of summer 2009!
If you are looking for a religious community with all types of people from all over the world, we have the perfect place for you!
Kochav Yaakov is a wonderful community of approximately 450 families located just north of Jerusalem. Unlike other Anglo communities, Kochav Yaakov is very much an Israeli yishuv with around 15% percentage of olim from Anglo speaking countries. The major benefit of this type of community is that families learn the language quicker and usually become part of Israeli society faster than predominately English speaking communities.
Right now Kochav Yaakov is embarking on a special new project of 20 karavilot (similar to caravans) to be built right away and be finished by July 2009. The goal is to populate these new homes with 20 new olim families from around the world. Thus far, we have 8 families signed on to the project and we are now looking to fill up the rest of them with olim from USA/Canada and UK.
Each karavilla comes with it’s own garden, salon, kitchen, bathroom with bath, small bathroom, room for washing machine/dryer and 3 bedrooms. They will be completed as of July 2009 and are specifically geared for new olim.
The rent for the karavilot will be in the neighborhood of 2000 NIS/month. Our goal is to reach 20 new olim families this summer which will help Kochav Yaakov receive all the special services of misrad Haklita including Ulpan, special help in education etc. (currently, we have 12 new olim families already signed on for this summer and out of the 20 karavilot we are building 8 are already reserved!

I am assuming the karivilla’s are taken. My wife and our two young boys really would like to move to kochav ya’akov. We are looking for a religous dati leumi community and it has been hard to find. We are Olim from 2005 and feel like we are still wandering looking for a community. Is there any way you can offer some advice on how to find a place there or if you still have the karavillas.
Thanks
