A message to residents

Dear residents of Ashkelon

Sofia BeilinDeputy Mayor of Ashkelon and the Our Home Ashkelon faction team

We built this site for you — the residents of our beloved city.

Here you can explore the many projects our team and the Our Home Ashkelon faction have carried out over the past years — ever since the great aliyah from the CIS countries arrived in Israel.

Here, too, is information about the organisations our activists created: support for new immigrants, culture and sport, along with announcements of city events. And most importantly — here you can leave your comments, feedback and suggestions.

We very much hope for a productive dialogue and for your active part in the life of Ashkelon — for the benefit of all its residents.
