At this stage, Phase A of the overall plan has been completed, in the future the project will be completed for all phases.
Gan Or Synagogue, in the Katif region, a synagogue with a unique design. The structure is designed as a geometric shape, where the shape is created by missing elements from the complete geometric shape, the ark is in the corner of the shape, so all the worshipers are directed like an arrow towards Jerusalem, the ark is placed with the highest ceiling in the prayer hall. The synagogue contained 200 worshipers and 90 worshipers, included a Torah library, and a rabbi's room. Unfortunately, the synagogue was destroyed by the evacuation of the Katif region.
Netzer Hazani Synagogue was designed in the area of Hevel Katif. Designed as a three-dimensional structure with a large window bringing natural light into the prayer space next to the ark, which is in the highest area of the building. The entire building is directed in the direction of prayer, so that the direction of Jerusalem can be identified already outside the building, the building served as an important public building in the settlement of Netzer Hazani, unfortunately the synagogue faces Gush Katif. The building contained 190 worshipers and about 90 worshipers, annex rooms for kiddush on community Saturdays.

We participated in a competition invited to give an option to design a new synagogue in Moshav Tzafria. The synagogue is supposed to replace the existing one in Moshav for many years.
