Givat Haim (Ihud) (Hebrew: גבעת חיים (איחוד), lit.
It is located within the jurisdiction of the Hefer Valley Regional Council.
[1] It was formed in 1952 by an ideological split in kibbutz Givat Haim (founded 1932), with Mapam-supporting members forming Givat Haim (Meuhad) which joined the HaKibbutz HaMeuhad movement, and Mapai-supporting members breaking away to create Givat Haim (Ihud), which joined the Mapai-affiliated Ihud HaKvutzot veHaKibbutzim.
Today both kibbutzim belong to the Kibbutz Movement.
As well as agriculture, the kibbutz is home to Prigat, a major soft drink company in Israel.
