Ahi'ezer

Ahi'ezer (Hebrew: אחיעזר) is a national religious moshav in the Central District of Israel.

Located near Lod, it falls under the jurisdiction of Sdot Dan Regional Council.

[1] During the Ottoman period, the area of Ahi'ezer belonged to the Nahiyeh (sub-district) of Lod that encompassed the area of the present-day city of Modi'in-Maccabim-Re'ut in the south to the present-day city of El'ad in the north, and from the foothills in the east, through the Lod Valley to the outskirts of Jaffa in the west.

[2] The village was founded on the agricultural lands of the depopulated Palestinian village of al-Safiriyya[3] on 27 June 1950 by immigrants from Al Bayda' in Yemen.

It was named for the biblical figure Ahiezer,[4][5][6] who was the chief of the tribe of Dan which previously lived in the area (Numbers 1:12; 10:25).
