Talmei Yaffe

Talmei Yaffe (Hebrew: תַּלְמֵי יָפֶה, lit.

'Yaffe Furrows') is a moshav shitufi in southern Israel.

[1] Talmei Yaffe was founded in 1950 as a kibbutz by Jewish immigrants from Poland and Romania on the former lands of the depopulated Palestinian village of Barbara.

[2] It was named after Leib Yaffe, a director-general of Keren Hayesod who was killed in the car bombing of the Jewish Agency building in Jerusalem in 1948.

In 2005 some families evacuated from settlements in Gush Katif were resettled in Talmei Yaffe following the Israeli disengagement from Gaza.
