The New Village of Peace Building Project

for more than 50 years, our African Hebrew Israelite community in Dimona, Israel, has dedicated itself to Mastering the Art of Living. Through a commitment to plant-based nutrition, holistic health, and community responsibility, we have cultivated a lifestyle that nurtures both the individual and the collective. This journey has affirmed our ability to create a thriving, intelligent society, one that lives in harmony with the earth and fosters profound well-being for all. Now, we are ready to manifest the next level of this cherished vision.

## Our Enduring Vision: Mastering the Art of Living Our experience has shown us that a truly healthy, synergetic, and productive life is not just an ideal, but an achievable reality. We have learned to live without polluting our air, water, and soil, accessing and manufacturing essential products in ways that preserve our environment. We grow safe, nutritious food, source renewable energy, and recycle our precious water resources, all while cultivating a sustainable social atmosphere that feeds our sanity. These principles have been rehearsed and refined over the past 50 plus years, strengthening our confidence in their power.

This profound conviction now culminates in The New Village of Peace building project in Dimona. This initiative is more than just construction; it is about intentionally building the life we envision for ourselves and for all those of like mind and spirit who seek a path of holistic living. We are extending an invitation to you to join us in this monumental effort, as we lay the foundations for a new era of community life.

## The New Village of Peace: A Blueprint for Tomorrow The New Village of Peace is designed as a "green neighborhood," encompassing 304 housing units spread across 18 acres of land in Dimona. This ambitious project operates under the auspices of our urban kibbutz, Shomray HaShalom (Guardians of Peace), reflecting our commitment to collective stewardship and shared prosperity. Every aspect of this new village is thoughtfully planned to enhance our ability to live a healthy, harmonious, and productive life.

### A Green Neighborhood for Holistic Living The visionary enterprises and service areas within The New Village of Peace are dedicated to ensuring optimal holistic health for our community members and visitors. These include: - Plant-based food, clothing, and cosmetics manufacturing, supporting a lifestyle of purity and natural wellness. - Organic agriculture, providing fresh, nutrient-rich produce directly from the earth. - Health centers focused on preventative care and natural healing modalities. - Stimulating social and intellectual engagements, fostering continuous growth and connection. - Vibrant music and cultural arts programmes, enriching the spirit and preserving our heritage.

Beyond these, the infrastructure itself will embody sustainability. Water recycling platforms will ensure responsible resource management, and solar energy systems will provide clean, renewable power for the entire community.

### Community Hubs and Services Our plan includes a comprehensive array of service areas designed to foster community cohesion and support daily life: - A communal cafeteria, offering nourishing plant-based meals. - A kindergarten, nurturing our youth in a supportive environment. - A community culture and health care centre, serving as a hub for well-being and cultural expression. - An amphitheater, for gatherings, performances, and celebrations. - Retail services and a light commercial manufacturing zone, supporting local enterprise and providing essential goods.

## Building in Phases: Our Progress and Your Invitation The construction of The New Village of Peace will unfold in three distinct phases. We are pleased to announce that the land for the first phase, comprising 73 housing units, has already been acquired. The essential infrastructure is developed, and all necessary building permits have been secured, marking significant progress toward our goal.

This new project represents the next vital stage of development, building upon the legacy of the current Village of Peace. Our existing community has long attracted visitors and esteemed individuals from around the world, including Stevie Wonder, Winnie Mandela, Blair Underwood, Amare’ Stoudemire, Meagan Good, Devon Franklin, Chronixx, Muta Baruka, and Whitney Houston, all drawn by our practical, sensible, and harmonious social development. We humbly accept the truth that the village reflecting the holistic, healthy way we desire to live is the one we build ourselves. We invite you to join us in this sacred endeavor, as we collectively fashion a new world rooted in peace, health, and sustainability.
