Carmit
Carmit is a new community in the northern Negev of Israel within the jurisdiction of Meitar located near Cramim Forest.
The community was founded for olims from North America.[1] A neighborhood for ultra-orthodox Jews was also planned.[1] In 2005 the District Planning and Building Commission of the Southern Region approved the construction of 739 housing units for Carmit's Phase A. Residents moved into the first neighborhood during 2013,[2][3] with the community eventually intended to comprise over 2,500 housing units, each on an area of 1/8 acre (1/2 dunam).
Absorption to Carmit is being carried out by the Jewish National Fund,[1] the Jewish Agency, the Meitar local council and the OR Movement that has established six new communities in the Negev and Galilee – Sansana, Merchav Am, Mitzpe Ilan, Haruv, Be'er Milka, and Gva'ot Bar.
