Kvutzat Shiller

Kvutzat Shiller (Hebrew: קבוצת שילר), also known as Gan Shlomo, is a kibbutz in central Israel.

Located in the Shephelah near Rehovot, it falls under the jurisdiction of Brenner Regional Council.

[1] The kibbutz was founded as a kvutza in October 1927 by a group of 12 academics from Lwów and Galicia and their six children.

The new settlement was named after Shlomo Shiller, a Zionist activist in Lwów.

The authorities agreed but demanded that the village adopt a Hebrew name.
