Co-Housing Israel – English

Co-Housing Israel is an intentional community of active men and women determined to age in place…together

Shalom!

Our housing models offer accessible private apartments aside shared common spaces in which we can socialize, share meals and enjoy community events. CHI communities will be active players in Israel’s towns and cities.

Planned locations offer easy access to public transportation, shopping, health services and cultural venues.

We look forward to becoming an important affordable alternative for senior housing.

If we will it, it is not a dream.

Why I Joined CHI

I have always enjoyed and valued community. I was hoping as I age to live in community via cohousing.
Ellen Eisenberg
After living in a California commune in the '60s and spending 15 years as a kibbutznik, I joined CHI because community beats isolation and building synergy, especially in our riper years, makes sense.
Yoav Peck
With retirement behind me, I wanted a new adventure of meeting new similar status people, wishing to create a welcoming, supportive community together.
Dena Maltinsky
I joined for the fun and I had always wanted to pitch in and share aspects of living together.
Ruth Sager
I want to live the coming years of my life in a community of friends and colleagues, who can amplify the joys, and soften the tough times.
Sarah Kreimer

Consensus

Community is about open communication. The consensus decision-making process ensures the involvement of all members in decisions that affect their lives. When everyone is involved in the decision-making process, people get to know each other well and this fosters community. One of the key elements of consensus is learning to listen to others. Disagreement does not mean the end of discussion, but the beginning of a more meaningful and deeper discussion.

Member’s Agreement

A Members’ Agreement is a binding agreement drawn up by the people who plan to live in a particular cohousing project. Each cohousing site has its own Members’ Agreement. Subjects, such as waiting lists, meals, meetings, behavior in common spaces, rituals and pets are defined by the members for themselves. Experience shows that it is wise to begin forming a Members’ Agreement months before moving in. The process itself builds community.
