Nes Ammim Village is an international Christian community that promotes a better understanding of Jews, Judaism and Israel in the church, primarily in Europe where the Holocaust occurred. Though small, the community has wide-ranging aims:
- To develop a Christian theology that is free from Anti-Judaism and that advocates a non-missionary approach to Jews.
- To show practical solidarity with the Jewish People by living as a real community in the country and sharing the troubles of the region (in
- 2006, Hezbollah rockets fell on its land.)
- To learn about the origins of Christian faith by studying Jewish tradition.
- To recognise that the Nazi Holocaust was facilitated by a centuries-long negative image of Jews & Judaism, promoted by numerous church leaders.
- To contribute - in a modest way - to peace-making, by organising seminars of encounter and dialogue between Israeli Arabs and Jews.
It owns agricultural land and operates a guesthouse and study centre, striving to be economically self-sufficient and to be a living part of Israel. The community is a working village and has a limited number of vacancies for short-term staff who live and work in a way similar to "kibbutz volunteers". We are pleased to support the work of this community. You can contact the community as follows: Nes Ammim, D.N. Asherat, Israel 25225. Email for work applications:
