We are the "Alternadox" ;-) seeking to build an Othodox Jewish, but alternative-to-the-city, true, rural community, off-the-grid, with our own sources of power, water and kosher food supply. A planned community, an “eco-village”, is to be built, with green state-of-the-art engineering, and including an organic aquaponic greenhouse, with unique, inventive characteristics. The community will exclusively use alternative power supplies (solar, wind), and will be a co-operative community. It will include on-site educational facilities, with active outreach toward assisting others in building their own similar projects. The community will be dedicated to kiruv, warmly welcoming Jews from all backgrounds, be they FFB, balei tshuva or convert; as well as being a safe place for women breaking free of situations of domestic violence. The community will be a place of peace, comfort, happiness and education, where a Jew is a Jew, treated with respect, as they learn to be community builders, and continue on to help others. We are not seeking to build a commune or a kibbutz, but our vision is more that of an old-fashioned farming community (yet with new-fashioned technology!), where each family has their own home and open space, but where community members help each other and participate as a co-op, for the benefit of all... a place where we can reap the benefits of a community, but have the freedom of the open country; and where we can truly live by the commandments with joy!
