The Founding Vision

Built on the vision of a life fully realised

Under the visionary leadership of H.E. Ben Ammi Ben Israel, a community took root in the Negev desert that would become a living testament to what is possible.

What began as a courageous journey continues as a thriving community of over 3,000 souls who have collectively chosen a path of plant-based nourishment, creative expression, and spiritual depth.

We do not merely speak of a better way. We live it, breathe it, and invite the world to witness it firsthand.

H.E. Ben Ammi Ben Israel • Founder, Village of Peace • 1939-2014

What People Say About Visiting

Walking through the Village of Peace changed my understanding of what community truly means. There is a warmth here that you cannot find anywhere else. The food, the music, the people, it is all one living thing.

I came as a journalist intending to write a feature. I stayed three weeks. The depth of knowledge here around plant-based living, natural birth, and community self-reliance is extraordinary. This is a living university.

The Sabbath gathering we attended was among the most moving experiences of our lives. 50 plus years of culture, song, and practice woven into a single afternoon. We left feeling renewed.
