Singer Eyal Golan has been rejected for a third time in his bid to join the moshav (agricultural settlement) of Beit Elazari. In a vote held this week, 93 out of 143 residents opposed his acceptance, with only 50 in favor. This latest rejection follows two previous attempts by Golan to join the moshav, which began in 2024.
His initial attempt was to join the moshav Kfar HaNagid, where he was renting an apartment with his then-partner Daniel Greenberg. His application was denied after a resident vote. The following year, Golan tried again, this time setting his sights on Beit Elazari. He offered to purchase a property valued at approximately 11 million shekels, spanning 27 dunams.
Despite his efforts to persuade residents at a community meeting, explaining his desire to raise his children in an environment that reflects his own upbringing, his appeal was unsuccessful. In that previous vote, 89 out of 160 residents opposed his admission, falling short of the 120 votes needed for approval.
Beit Elazari is described as a desirable moshav in central Israel, located near Gedera and part of the Brenner Regional Council. It is not far from Golan's current residence in Rehovot. As of the end of 2024, the moshav had a population of 1,629 residents. Neither Beit Elazari nor Eyal Golan's representatives have yet provided a comment on the latest rejection.
