Frequently asked questions

Why do Anglo olim concentrate in Raanana?
Three reasons: an established English-speaking synagogue and social network, a strong secular-religious mix, and English-language education (Tali, AMIT tracks) up to bagrut level.
How does Raanana compare to Herzliya for families?
Raanana is 15–25% cheaper per m², more traditionally family-oriented and has stronger schools; Herzliya wins on beach access and villa stock. Anglo families overwhelmingly pick Raanana.
