Imagine settling down in a new place, a place where you can afford a home and raise a family, yet still be part of a bustling city. Tel Tziyon is that place, a community of 1,350 families, just a short drive from Jerusalem’s center. It’s a quiet, relaxed place with a strong sense of community, where residents like to celebrate each other’s joys. Tel Tziyon may be a relatively young town, only a few decades old, but it’s quickly developing. The town has around 60% Sephardi and 40% Ashkenazi families, and there’s a growing Chabad community too. Tel Tziyon is home to various distinct communities, but despite their differences, all of the residents are connected like one big community. You can find a relaxed atmosphere here, but there’s still a strong sense of tradition. You can see this in the fashion, with conservative styles of dress, and in the use of technology. Despite the relaxed atmosphere, it’s important to remember that this is an ultra-orthodox community, and visitors should be respectful of the traditions and customs. After all, Tel Tziyon is a place where the residents value their community and want to preserve its unique way of life.
