Sde Eliyahu Religious Kibbutz Kibbutz Sde Eliyahu is a Modern Orthodox Religious Kibbutz located in the Bet Shean valley, just south of the town of Bet Shean near the border with Jordan.

Participants live in a dormitory adjacent to the Ulpan building. We house two-to-three people per room on single-sex floors. Each room comes with A/C, closets, linens, individual reading lamps, and a table and chairs. Bathroom facilities are located on each floor.
