A major campaign has been launched throughout the United States and Canada to attract 120 young North American families to a new settlement in Israel. Called Moshav Edan, the settlement will be developed in the Arava Valley, east of the Arava highway leading to Eilat, about 65 miles southeast of Beersheba and is planned for settlement exclusively by North Americans. The maximum age of the head of household of these families is 35.
According to Mordechai Friedman, group aliya director of the Israel Aliya Center, applications are now being accepted. He said immigration will begin March, 1979 and moshav activities will start in the late summer, 1979.
