History
Population
From a general population of over 40,000, there are about 400 Chareidi families, of which about 100 are Anglo. The Chareidi community is diverse, including Yeshivish, Chassidish, balebatish, and Sephardic. It is a very close knit community.
Anglos are not concentrated in one area, but are integrated throughout most of Karmiel's neighborhoods.
There is also a new community of about 60 young Israeli Chareidi families (including a sprinkling of English-speakers), with more on their way. Most are avreichim. This community is centered around a branch of yeshivas Orchos Torah of Bnei Brak (R' Shteinman's yeshivah).
