Zrahia

Zrahia (Hebrew: זְרַחְיָה) is a religious moshav in southern Israel.

[2] Located near Kiryat Malakhi, it falls under the jurisdiction of Shafir Regional Council.

[1] The village was established in 1950 on land that had belonged to the depopulated Palestinian village of al-Sawafir al-Sharqiyya.

[3] Most of the founders were immigrants from Iran, although there were also some from the Maghreb, particularly Morocco.

It was named after Zrahia, an ancestor of Ezra (Ezra 7:4), who came to the Land of Israel after the Babylonian captivity.
