The Vineyard

Rooted in the Land, Growing a Legacy

In September 2024, the Eli Kay Project planted its flagship initiative in the heart of the Negev Desert — a working vineyard that embodies everything Eli believed in: growth, dedication, and an unbreakable connection to the Land of Israel.

In partnership with Rimon Farm, the Eli Kay Vineyard is home to 3,500 vines rooted in the Negev soil. But this is more than a vineyard. Through innovative agricultural therapy, Rimon Farm uses the healing power of working the land to support individuals living with PTSD - and to date, over 5,000 people have found recovery, purpose, and renewed strength here.

The Eli Kay Vineyard is also a place of gathering. We welcome groups from Israel and around the world to roll up their sleeves, work the land alongside us, and experience firsthand what it means to build something lasting in the soil of Israel.

tHE VINE AND THE VISION

Wine holds a special place in Jewish life — a symbol of community, celebration, and the fruits of the land. For Eli, it represented something deeper still: the joy of bringing people together, of sharing a table, of roots that run deep.

Today, the Eli Kay Vineyard is home to 3,500 vines growing in the soil of the Negev, each one representing a living bond between a person and the Land of Israel. We invite you to become a part of our vineyard, a part of our vision, with a vine of your own. 

Dedicate a Vine. Deepen the Roots.

With a donation of $50, you can dedicate a vine in the Eli Kay Vineyard — in your own name, or in honor of someone you love. Your dedication supports the growth of the vineyard and ensures that Eli's legacy continues to take root in the land he cherished.
