Gita
The Gita Community Village, situated in the Maale Yosef Regional
Council [link to http://www.outreach.umich.edu/Partnership2000/Britain/community/]
, was founded in 1980. It presently numbers 214 residents (65 families),
two-thirds of which are new immigrants from the Former Soviet Union. With
new housing underway, Gita is set to double its population within a couple
of years.
Several Gita residents have established home-based businesses, with most
of the others commuting to Acco, Nahariya or Haifa for work.
