Kochav HaShachar


Synopsis:

Kochav HaShachar is a religious settlement with a community that permeates warmhearted and caring family life. The settlement holds extensive cultural and social activities, assists families in need, and conducts charitable activities both within and outside the community.

There are 400 families living on Kochav HaShachar. The families are comprised of all ages with children of all ages. Among them are founding members of the settlement as well as some second generation families who chose to settle and raise their children here too, newlyweds, retired couples, and growing families of all ages in between.

A primary focus for the residents of Kochav HaShachar is the education of their children. Institutes of formal education present on the settlement include daycare from age three months, pre-schools and kindergarten, an elementary school, yeshiva boys’ high school, post-high school yeshiva for higher studies, and more.
