Kfar Kama

Located at 228 meters elevation, Kfar Kama features traditional basalt stone houses forming narrow streets in its historic center, displaying trilingual signage throughout the settlement.

Established in 1878 by Circassian refugees from the Shapsug tribe following their exile after the Russo-Circassian War, Kfar Kama became one of three ethnic settlements in Ottoman Palestine.

The Circassian Heritage Center, housed in the renovated Shami House, presents traditional dance performances and exhibits local cultural artifacts, garments, and historical tools.

The village maintains educational facilities teaching both Adyghe and Hebrew languages, while providing essential services including healthcare centers and community gathering spaces.

The local mosque features an octagonal minaret, reflecting the historical transition from Christianity to Islam among Circassians between the 17th and 19th centuries.
