The global self-sustainable kibbutz movement

Homa Umigdal 2.0 — pre-fabricated sustainable-tech villages that bring Torah-aligned infrastructure to Jewish communities worldwide. Rooted in Sde Trumot, where our namesake was born in 1936.

The Story

Homa Umigdal, then and now.

On December 10, 1936, on a hill in the Beit She'an Valley, the first tower-and-stockade kibbutz — Tel Amal, later Nir David — was raised in a single day. Between 1936 and 1939, fifty-seven of these Homa U'Migdal settlements followed, each a pre-fabricated wooden wall and watchtower erected before nightfall to establish an enduring Jewish presence on the land.

That was the original operation, and it worked. The kibbutzim built by wall-and-tower are still there today, most of them thriving, and they shaped the northern spine of the State of Israel.

Our founding Healing Farm sits in Sde Trumot — on land in the same Beit She'an Valley where the original movement was born. We are, literally and by design, Homa Umigdal 2.0.

Where the original movement used pre-fabricated wooden walls and a watchtower, we build pre-fabricated sustainable-tech infrastructure — off-grid solar micro-grids, atmospheric water generation, aquaponics greenhouses, permaculture zones — that can be deployed to any Jewish community anywhere in the world in a matter of weeks.

We build for the lost tribes of Israel — Bnei Menashe in India, Beta Israel in Ethiopia, Igbo in Nigeria, Lemba in southern Africa, Abayudaya in Uganda, Bnei Anousim across the Americas, and every other dispersed and returning community. The vision is not to bring them to Israel; it is to bring Israel to them.

Then
Wooden wall and watchtower.

Pre-fabricated in Haifa, transported by truck, assembled before nightfall. Fifty-seven settlements built between 1936 and 1939, each establishing an enduring Jewish presence on the land in a single day. The engineering was primitive; the courage and clarity of purpose were not.

Now
Solar, water, food, and shelter.

Pre-fabricated off-grid PV and battery, atmospheric water generation, aquaponics greenhouse, permaculture terraces, modular housing. Containerized, shippable, deployable to any lost-tribe community — from Manipur to Kampala to São Paulo — through the iTribe network.

Our Two Programs

One organization, two integrated pillars.

Homa U Migdal Inc. operates two programs that reinforce each other: a digital community platform reuniting the world's dispersed Jews, and a physical demonstration site in Israel where our sustainable-tech village model is refined, taught, and used to heal.

iTribe
Digital Heritage Platform

A global online community — thousands of members from around the world — reuniting the lost tribes of Israel through heritage exploration, community connection, and Torah study in our Beit Medrash. The bridge between diaspora communities and the movement.

The Healing Farm
Sde Trumot Demonstration Site

Our physical presence — a working sustainable-tech village in Israel's Beit She'an Valley. The full technology stack is operational and being refined here; teams train here for global deployment; and in 2026, we launch our alternative-therapy retreat program for veterans, first responders, and trauma survivors grounded in the Jewish values of tikkun (repair) and refuah (healing).

The Technology Stack

What we pre-fabricate.

Every element is designed to be deployable to a new community anywhere in the world — Uganda, India, Nigeria, or the American South — with local training and a few weeks of installation. This is the twenty-first century's answer to the wooden wall and watchtower.

And, in Israel, one thing more — the retreat space where all of this becomes a tool for human healing.
