Moshav Ecovillage

United States

The Moshav Ecovillage will be a holistically-minded, agriculturally based, environmentally conscious, pluralistic Jewish community.

We will be a diverse, spiritually connected, loving, and tight-knit ecovillage.

Our community will be situated in a rural and agricultural setting to allow for a sustainable, health-conscious, organic and socially responsible lifestyle.

We have not yet settled on a location or farm, and are open to choosing a location based on the desires of those involved. We are also open to partnering with another forming ecumenical ecovillage in order to symbiotically realize our goals.

Our long-term hopes are that multiple Jewish Ecovillages will bloom across the country.

Let's share in the realization of this dream and join together to start a Jewish community revolution!
