Kfar Shamai

Kfar Shamai (Hebrew: כפר שמאי) is a moshav in northern Israel.

Located in Upper Galilee, about 1.9 miles (3 km) west of Safed, it falls under the jurisdiction of Merom HaGalil Regional Council.

It was built over the Palestinian village of al-Sammu'i that was depopulated during the 1948 war[2] as part of Israel's Independence war.

Over the years immigrants from Romania and Morocco joined them.

Today, 2006, the moshav houses a museum for the preservation of local history since its establishment.
