Welcome to Kfar Rafael, a healing community
In our circle of giving, we join hands
Tenants with special needs
Kfar Rafael is the home of special people, who need an environment that will accept them with their unique abilities and limitations and help them realize their potential.
In a year of volunteering or working
Young men and women come to Kfar Rafael for a year of service, national service, preferred work, and volunteers from abroad and integrate into humane and challenging work, personal growth, and community life.
Creating a home for life
Families care for their children, who live and work together with their friends and young staff, and carry the village forward in the long term from the anthroposophical perspective of man and the world.

Together we are
In agriculture and workshops
The work and skill of each resident contributes to the whole. When residents help with the household and work in agriculture or workshops, they come closer to fulfilling their human potential and become essential partners in production, service, and social life in the community. The residents of the village work together with the staff in farming and gardening, making beeswax candles, recycling paper, baking, preparing food products, weaving, laundry, and cooking.

A variety of treatments and therapies
The village offers a wide, diverse and unique offering of therapies in which residents can progress and develop, and walk on their personal path to the discovery and expression of their self. Depending on need and suitability, residents can take part in individual or group therapeutic processes in physiotherapy, rhythmic massage, drama and speech therapy, therapeutic riding, art therapy, music therapy, ayurhythmia, animal therapy, and Chinese medicine.
Cultural, leisure and enrichment life
The village has a rich and diverse cultural life, in which all members of the community participate. We strive to increase the active creation of culture, not just its passive consumption. This is expressed in the way we celebrate the Sabbath, the holidays, and the cycle of the seasons, as well as in the evening enrichment program that includes a variety of educational, sports, art, and recreational activities. In addition, the residents also participate in nature walks and outings to the city.
