Shokeda

Shokeda (Hebrew: שוקדה) is a religious moshav in southern Israel.

Located approximately six kilometres west of Netivot and covering 6,000 dunams, it falls under the jurisdiction of Sdot Negev Regional Council.

[1] The village was established in 1957 by the Jewish Agency for Moroccan Jewish immigrants.

They arrived in two groups, and the original aim was to found two settlements; Shokeda and Tzumha.

In the late winter months, Shokeda becomes a tourist attraction due to the multitude of wild red poppy flowers that carpet the landscape.
