Nahshonim (Hebrew: נַחְשׁוֹנִים, lit.
'Pioneers') is a kibbutz in central Israel.
Located in the south of the Sharon plain near Rosh HaAyin, it falls under the jurisdiction of Drom HaSharon Regional Council.
[1] Kibbutz Nahshonim was founded in 1949 by a group largely made up of Egyptian Jewish immigrants and refugees,[2] as well as a few native Israelis.
They chose the name, well aware of its roots in the biblical pioneer Nahshon, who helped Moses during the Exodus from Egypt.
