The sun sets over the Ben Shemen forest.


Havdalah

Moshav residents gather around the Havdalah candle during the service that ends Shabbat.


Modiin

The city of Modiin is a ten-minute walk from the Moshav (see "Jewish Joy" entry). Just ten-years old, it is the fastest growing city in Israel. Behind its buildings you can see the mountains of the West Bank.
