Kfar Menahem

Located about 7 km east of Kiryat Malakhi, it falls under the jurisdiction of Yoav Regional Council.

The village was named for Menachem Ussishkin, that was a Zionist leader and head of the Jewish National Fund.

Kfar Menahem was established as a Tower and Stockade colony on December 6, 1939 on a 3,650 dunam tract which had been purchased in 1935.

By 1943, there were 245 inhabitants who worked in mixed farming (grains, vegetables, cattle, sheep and poultry) and industry (carpentry and garage).

The Beit Habanim culture hall in Kfar Menachem was designed by renowned architect R. Buckminster Fuller, inventor of the geodesic dome.
