Hafetz Haim

Located in the Shephelah, it falls under the jurisdiction of Nahal Sorek Regional Council.

[1] The land on which Hafetz Haim was established was purchased by the Jewish National Fund.

[citation needed] The land had traditionally belonged to the Palestinian village of Al-Mukhayzin.

However, on 13 November 1942 the community moved to the Finger of the Galilee, where they established a new kibbutz, also called Kfar Szold.

The founders were religious pioneers from Germany and members of the Ezra youth movement and Agudat Yisrael who had been preparing near Kfar Saba.
