Telem
Telem
In our community…
The atmosphere in Telem is of a vibrant place, where young and older families, religious and non-religious, have turned the community into one big integrated family, one social home, just like the pioneer settlers in Telem have dreamed about on those Saturdays on the exposed hill. The panorama is the same endless panorama, the air is the same air, but on that once empty hill now stand flourishing neighborhoods, spacious amusement park, green lungs, and an exciting life for both children and adults.
Telem is a warm and integrated family where anyone and everyone can live their lives the way they see fit, in their own faith and in mutual respect.
