Rabbi Dovid Gottlieb, founder of Ganei HaEla (www.ganeihaela.com), the newest planned neighborhood in Ramat Beit Shemesh, will be speaking to the New York and New Jersey communities in January about the vision behind the new development. The dynamic and well respected rabbi, who previously served Baltimore’s Congregation Shomrei Emunah before moving to Israel with his family in 2010, will be speaking in Woodmere, in Kew Gardens Hills and his last stop is in Teaneck at the Rothberg home, 350 Warwick Avenue on January 15th.
“We are filling a need for a warm community where families value the central role that a shul can provide,” said Rabbi Gottlieb. “We believe that this communal structure is important, especially for olim who are familiar with this focus from their home communities and who will face common challenges in a new country and culture. Combine that with the quality of the homes and the ideal location and we believe that this community will be truly special.”
The project sits just minutes away from top quality schools, transportation, supermarkets and shopping centers. “Greater Bet Shemesh is already one of Israel’s top communities for young American and Anglo families,” said Shelly Levine, whose Tivuch Shelly, Ltd. has been a long-term marketer of the area. “I am certain that Ganei HaEla will take Bet Shemesh to the next level of most desired neighborhoods in Israel.”
Homes range in size from 237 square meters (2536 square feet) to 345 square meters (3688 square feet) and are in seven models. Apartments range from 117 square meters (1252 square feet) to 151 square meters (1616 square feet). The first families to join are largely professionals, including doctors, accountants, educators, financial analysts. The project expects that 50 families will be joining the group in the next few months as development and construction work begin.
Levine added that a variety of spacious top standard housing options are being offered, from apartments to single-family houses, all within a meticulously cultivated community. “Needless to say, the prices will never be lower than they are today to acquire a home in Ganei HaEla.”
