Haifa is Israel's third largest city, beautifully set on the slopes of Mount Carmel facing the Mediterranean Sea. For decades, Haifa has been Israel's model of what a 'mixed' Jewish-Arab city could be.
Haifa, Hebrew H̱efa, city, northwestern Israel, is where the Carmelite Order was established in the late 12th century when Crusader-era pilgrims, inspired by prophet Elijah, opted for a hermitic life on the slopes of the beautiful Mount Carmel.
Our first Carmelite fathers lived in obedience to Jesus Christ on this holy mountain.
