Description

MADISON MARGOLIN:

"While the term “moshav” today has various connotations beyond its actual definition (rural, Zionist, Carlebach if we’re talking about Mevo Modi’im), Berkeley’s urban moshav takes after the Israeli model, in which residents individually own their own homes, but share space in common, such as a communal dining hall and kosher kitchen for community meals a few times a week. There are other shared spaces too, such as two community guest rooms and a kids’ playroom. The community may try to offer some rental homes too, which would render the moshav more affordable for those who can’t put down a million dollars on a Bay Area condo."
