Eden Beit Shemesh by Rotem Shani: community is redefining aliyah

By 2030, American families will make aliyah, creating a new home and a shared future in Israel. Dozens of American families are preparing to make aliyah—not alone but together. They are not just relocating but building a future as a united community in Beit Shemesh’s Eden Project. In 2030, they will step off the plane at Ben Gurion Airport, leaving behind their familiar lives to embrace a new chapter in Israel. For many, aliyah is a dream filled with excitement but comes with uncertainty. Learning a new language, culture, and routines—each challenge is a step toward something greater. Kelly Stern understands these challenges all too well. Once a New York real estate manager, she now calls Jerusalem home. Her journey began much like the families she now helps. “Today, more than ever, many families want to make aliyah and be part of the Israeli story,” she says. “But I know firsthand what this decision entails—being far from parents, friends, even the simple comforts of home, like finding your kids’ favorite treats in the supermarket.” Stern’s introduction to the Eden project wasn’t personal at first—it was business. She had come to Beit Shemesh to explore investment opportunities for her American clients. “Beit Shemesh is an ideal location for many of my clients,” she explains. “It’s close to Sheinfeld and top-tier schools, just 30 minutes from both Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Just a 30-minute drive from both Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, the city offers everything they have to offer—job opportunities, education, healthcare, and leisure—alongside Jewish heritage and convenient access to holy sites. That’s why so many U.S. families are drawn here." A discussion with Dalia Turiski, Rotem Shani's marketing and sales director, ignited a fresh idea. What started as a real estate endeavor evolved into a vision: a vibrant community for olim, families embarking on this journey side by side. “From my own experience, I know that the best way to navigate the challenges of aliyah is to arrive as part of a community,” Stern says. “That’s why I made it my mission to create this community and open it to as many families as possible.” A Place to Grow, A Place to Belong For Rotem Shani, community building isn’t just a slogan—it’s a proven model. Developments like Rotem Shani We-R Raanana, Rotem Shani Resort Netanya, and Rotem Shani Ganei Tikva have all become vibrant, close-knit neighborhoods. Eden is no exception. Nestled in the breathtaking Judean foothills, Eden Project offers five residential buildings ranging from 9 to 26 stories. Families will find spacious three to six-bedroom apartments with large balconies, commercial spaces, dining and leisure areas, parks, designated Sukkah areas, playgrounds, a gym, and a community clubhouse. More than just a place to live, Eden is designed to be a place to belong. The Beit Shemesh municipality also believes in this vision. They plan to integrate public facilities within the Eden complex, including a synagogue, daycare centers, and a library—essential elements of a thriving, family-oriented community. A Leader to Guide the Way A strong community needs strong leadership. Recognizing this, Stern sought a spiritual guide who could help families navigate the logistics and emotional and spiritual aspects of aliyah. She found that leader in Rabbi Beni Krohn, the esteemed head of Young Israel in Teaneck, New Jersey. Rabbi Krohn, a psychologist by training and a faculty member at Yeshiva University, and his wife, Rebbetzin Chani Krohn, a nurse and dedicated community leader, prepare to make aliyah with their four children. They will be the heart of the Eden Community, providing guidance, support, and a sense of continuity as families transition into their new lives. In a recent lecture, Rabbi Krohn discussed the significance of this moment: “We all have pivotal moments in life when we must take a leap of faith. This is one of those moments. Israel's resilience in recent years has reignited our sense of duty to our people and homeland.
