'''Afula Illit''' (Hebrew: ####) is a neighborhood of Afula, detached from the main city. The road to Teveria separates it from the neighborhood of [[Giv'at HaMoreh]].

== History ==

== Population ==
Afula itself is historically an immigration town. Immigrants originally came from Morocco, then more places. Now there are 50,000 people. There is every type of Sephardi Shul. Overall there are approx. 70 shuls. The general area is mostly Sephardi, extremely warm, full of Emunah, welcoming, growing in Torah.

There are many non-observant Jews, Russians, Ethiopians. In the city there are many Arabs as well, though in Afula Illit not so many. There were no incidents with the Arabs in the recent unrest (May 2021).

In Afula Illit, the Chareidi presence is made up of three groups. There is a significant Ashkenazi presence: 50-60 Ashkenazi Litvish families, almost all Israeli. There is also a large group of Viszhnitzer Chasidim, 220 families. Both these communities have developed over the past few years. There are about 100 Sephardic families who self-identify as Chareidi, many of them avreichim. All these kehillos are growing.

Many members of these communities are younger families with young children. There are very few families where the head of household is over 45.

There is a huge sense of achdus in a heartfelt way. The common denominator of the small Ashkenazi kehillah is that everyone is there to serve Hashem without community pressure to conform with all the external aspects of some larger communities. It includes a large range of the Chareidi spectrum, and everybody gets along and are happy living among each other. There is a strong sense of community, and people happily help each other.

== Rabbonim ==
The rav of the Vizhnitz community, Rav Mendel Tobak, speaks English as a second language (grew up in America).Everyone feels comfortable speaking with him, as he is very approachable.

There is also the Sephardic rav of Afula Illit, HaRav Veitzman.

There are several rabbonim in the nearby community of [[Giv'at HaMoreh]].

== Shuls ==
There are many Sephardic shuls. Vizhnitz has a central shul as well as a shtieble called Kerestir.

First Ashkenazi Shul was Netzach Yisrael (nusach Sefard). There is a new Nusach Ashkenaz minyan on Shabbosim in another area of Afula Illit.

== Chinuch ==
The Litvish cheider and general Bais Yakov are in [[Giv'at HaMoreh]], with hundreds of children. There is talk about opening another such cheider in Afula Illit.

There are several Sephardic chadorim in their early stages, each with a different emphasis.

== Groups & Programs ==
The women get together for “N’shei” and have community events for the women. The men also have community events such as an annual Chanukah party.

== Geography & Climate ==
