English WhatsApp Groups
There are a number of English-language WhatsApp groups that help residents stay informed and connected. These include Emergency group, Zichron Events, New Olim with children in grades K–12, New Olim 55+, Local Volunteer Opportunities, KEF Club (for adults aged 55+), KEF Connections, and more. Several of these groups are organized under the ZY English Community.
To be added to one or more of these groups, please send your name, phone number and home address to Naomi Brickner at [email protected].

All groups are conducted in English and are moderated.
