A Message for Shavuot: Building Legacy with Purpose
As we approach Shavuot—a time of renewal, revelation, and connection—we reflect not only on the giving of the Torah but on what it means to build something enduring. For many Jewish families in the UK, that includes creating a tangible connection to the Land of Israel.
Whether for future Aliyah, family holidays, retirement planning, or investment, owning property in Israel is an expression of continuity and belonging. At Israel Properties by Stamelman & Partners, we are proud to accompany families from the UK and beyond on this meaningful journey—with discretion, care, and experience.

"Lara and Israel Properties was an amazing support for us when we where selling an apartment in Jerusalem. She was always accessible and available and she responded promptly whenever we needed her assistance. She went well beyond what we could have expected from an agent and we always felt that we were in the hands of someone who had our best interests at heart."

"From the bottom of our hearts, our family and BH, our future generations will be grateful to you for your service. Toviyah and Shirley worked diligently and with much compassion and enthusiasm for our investment and future home in Eretz Yisrael. We cannot thank them enough for their efforts from the beginning of this journey to the day we took the keys to our new apartment. Every step of the way, they introduced us to excellent and trustworthy professionals and tradesmen. It was also rented out effortlessly as promised to a wonderful tenant. Thank you for everything, we would highly recommend their services to anyone anywhere in the world."
