Pioneer

Joining Ohr Chabad

Part 1: Intro

Becoming a Pioneer

The Seed Group, or in Hebrew, “Garin,” is a group of the first 30 families who will move into the yishuv and establish the community atmosphere and framework. The garin already works together, planning the community and preparing for move-in day. They meet up often, learn together, and have community programs and youth groups.

Part 2: Foundation

The Seed Group

The garin plans on moving into a temporary neighborhood in Ohr Chabad in 2023. The neighborhood will be made of prefab homes and function like a normal small community, while supervising the construction of the first permanent neighborhood. The garin are real pioneers, shaping the very foundation of Ohr Chabad for decades to come.

There are just a few spaces available in the garin, and we are looking for some wonderful families to join.

Pioneer in the Founding Seed Group

The Seed Group has a strong influence on the future of the yishuv, and therefore
is made up of a dynamic group of high quality and capable families.
