Kfar Hananya (Hebrew: כְּפַר חֲנַנְיָה) is a community settlement in the Galilee in northern Israel under the administration of the Merom HaGalil Regional Council.
Lower Galilee is defined in the Mishnah (Shevi'it 9:2) as the area south of Kfar Hananya where the Sycamore Fig tree grows (Ficus sycomorus).
[9] Modern Kfar Hananya was founded in 1977 as a moshav of the movement Hapoel HaMizrachi for members of nearby moshavim on land that belonged to Kafr 'Inan, about 1 km south of the village site.
Near the community is a burial place attributed to Rabbi Hananya ben Akashya, a sage of the Tannaim period.
[14] In the Babylonian Talmud, Rabbi Jose ben Halafta praises the vessels produced in Kfar Hananya, describing them as “not likely to burst.” [15]
