Yad Hasimona Volunteer Information
History
Yad-Hashmona is a Moshav located 15kms west of Jerusalem in the Judean Mountains near the biblical city of Kiryath Yearim. A Moshav is what you would probably call a small village.
This moshav was founded by a small group of Finnish Christians in 1971.
Israeli Jews Joined the Moshav in 1979 on the common ground of faith in Yeshua HaMashiah(Jesus the Messiah) and belief in the Bible as the inerrant Word of God and as our standard for faith and practice.
Until some years ago, our Moshav used to be a cooperative-communal settlement, similar to a kibbutz in nature, but today, the here living families are living an independent life, enjoying the uniqueness of living surrounded by other believers in Jesus.
Most of the members are now Israelis and the main day to day spoken language is Hebrew.
Each member has his own income, some are working in Yad Hashmona and most of them are working in regular working places close by.
The settlement is supported by tourism: we are running a guest house both for tourists
from abroad and Israeli guests.
