Cant believe I found this information. I moved to this farm (Alon Christian fellowship) with my parents with the intention to relocate from our hometown in a completely different province. Though I was there for only 6 months, and I was still a boy, the whole experience played a big part in my childhood as I grew up. I think it was back in 1997 I was still in grade 6. I still remember a lot of what happened on the farm, I do know that it was not what our family had expected at all and it turned out to be a place where the leaders play mind games under the guise of a Christian communal resort. I recall my brother and I being forced to work hard, polishing and cleaning avocados and washing cars with the other kids. We where occasionally disciplined by community members other than my parents (in there absence). Friday nights they celebrated Shabbat, and had forced prayer meetings in the mornings. We left exactly 6 months after we came, fortunately my father had a sabbatical agreement at work and returned without any issues. I will never forget that the day we packed up and left it rained like I had never seen or felt before even to this day. The brainwashed residents tried to make us feel that we where making the biggest mistake of our lives and that the we would no longer have the Lords favour. lol, thank goodness we got out when we did what a disaster that would have been had we stayed.
