(Courtesy of Yigal Realty) The final units of Rotshtein Heights, a landmark residential development in Ramat Beit Shemesh, are now available — representing the last chance to buy in Phase 1 before families begin moving in this September.
But this project is about more than new homes. It’s about a new community taking root.
At its core is Meromei Shemesh, a vibrant kehilla welcoming English-speaking families making aliyah. Under the leadership of Rabbi Larry Rothwachs, this emerging neighborhood is being developed as a model for Torah living, warm community life, and thoughtful infrastructure tailored to North American olim.
“People aren’t just looking for an apartment — they’re looking for a place to raise their children, grow spiritually, and feel a true sense of belonging,” said Rabbi Rothwachs. “Meromei Shemesh is about building that from the ground up.”
Rotshtein Heights anchors this vision, offering rare advantages in Israel’s housing market: immediate occupancy, flexible payment terms, fixed prices with no madad (inflation linkage), and a bonus furniture package for final buyers.
To introduce the remaining units and share the broader vision of Meromei Shemesh, a live webinar will be held this Sunday, May 18 at 8 p.m..
Earlier that same day at 10 a.m., a separate webinar will spotlight a growing trend: the wave of English-speaking retirees and empty nesters choosing Beit Shemesh for their next chapter. Titled “The Next Chapter in Israel: Retiring to Beit Shemesh,” the session will highlight the city’s appeal to seniors seeking a peaceful, welcoming aliyah experience — supported by new housing options and strong communal networks.
With growing interest across generations, Beit Shemesh is fast becoming one of Israel’s most dynamic and diverse destinations for Anglos seeking community and connection.
Both webinars are part of a joint initiative by Yigal Realty and My Israel Home to help North American families navigate the complexities of purchasing in Israel — from legal and financial matters to finding the right communal fit. With respected leaders like Rabbi Rothwachs making the move and guiding new neighborhoods, projects like Meromei Shemesh are gaining momentum among American Jews considering making aliyah.
