Living Arrangements

Participants who choose this track will make their home in the working class Tel Aviv neighborhood of Kiryat Shalom. There, they are provided with well-stocked apartments, and grocery stores, banks and restaurants are all within easy walking distance. The city center, other South Tel Aviv neighborhoods and Jaffa are all easily accessible by bus, bike or on foot.
 
Tel Aviv's Central Bus Station and Hagannah Train Station are each a 20 minute walk from the apartments, making all of Israel easily accessible to Tikkun Olam participants.
 
In Kiryat Shalom, participants will live within a population of both recent Israeli immigrants and veteran citizens, most of whom are more religiously observant than those in other parts of Tel Aviv, giving Shabbat and holidays a distinctive flavor. What truly defines this neighborhood, however, is a strong sense of community.
 
Many Kiryat Shalom residents proudly boast that "everybody knows everybody else" here. This combination of factors creates a unique cultural experience for participants in this track.
