Giv'ot Zaid (Hebrew: גבעות זייד, lit.

The kibbutz was established in 1943,[2] to the north of the former home of Alexander Zaïd (from whom it took its name), who was murdered in 1938.

[3] The founders were made up of members of the Yerushalayimi gar'in organised by Yohanan Zaïd, graduates of Mikveh Israel organised by Yiftah Zaïd, and immigrants from Poland and Romania.

In 1951, some of them established the village of Beit Zaid on the site of Zaïd's residence.

In 1960 a centre for adults with special needs, Kfar Tikvah was founded on the site of Givat Zaid.
