Our Community
We live on Moshav Neve Ilan, a communal settlement about 15 minutes outside Jerusalem. The moshav is
made up of about fifty families. The main industry on the moshav is our 160 room hotel. All property
on the moshav is owned collectively, and profits, when there are any, belong to all the members. In
the meantime - we all share in the workload.
Our Country
We have lived in Israel since 1971 (Jodie) and 1972 (Ellis). We both finished high school in
Israel, served in the Israeli Army, and together helped establish Kibbutz Yahel in Israel's south. Since 1983 we have been living on Moshav Neve Ilan.
We speak English in the home, but our children are being raised bilingually, with Hebrew as their second
mother tongue.

Our World
Along with many other citizens of the world, our horizons have broadened with the advent of
Cyberspace. It is as easy to communicate with new-found friends in Malaysia and Chile as it is with the
neighbors next door. We are proud to be among the pioneers in the exploration of Cyberspace.
