Ben Ami · Western Galilee
Ben Ami community guide
Overview
Moshav Ben Ami is a rural Western Galilee community just east of Nahariya, founded in 1949 and named after Ben-Ami Pechter. Today it offers some of the largest plots and most private homes in the region — a true countryside lifestyle minutes from the coast.
Lifestyle
Ben Ami residents enjoy a slow, agricultural rhythm — quiet streets, mature gardens, fruit trees, and ample space for pergolas, pools and entertaining decks. The moshav community is closely knit and family-oriented.
Schools
Ben Ami families use Mateh Asher Regional Council schools, with bus service to Kabri Elementary and Sulam Tzor High School, plus quick access to Nahariya's wide school selection.
Beaches & nature
The Shavei Zion and Nahariya beaches are a 7-minute drive west; the Achziv national beach is 12 minutes north.
