Message from the Mayor

Eli ShaviroIt is a great honor, privilege and sacred task to lead one of Israel’s greatest success stories: the City of Ariel.

Ariel has been my home for close to 30 years, and that’s what it is for our 20,000 residents: home. While Ariel is a city, it is also a community, one that strives towards excellence in education, ethical values, and national leadership. We take pride in our national achievements, but also in our continual efforts to improve the day-to-day lives of the people of the city.

We welcome you to visit Ariel and be a part of its growing success.

Yours truly,

Eliyahu Shaviro
Mayor of Ariel
