Mazor

The moshav stretches across 2,300 dunams of land in the southeastern corner of the Sharon Plain, three kilometers southeast of Petah Tikva.

Jewish immigrants from Czechoslovakia and Hungary established Mazor in 1949, initially naming it Mizra Har before changing it to honor a medicinal herb factory.

The community maintains agricultural traditions through cooperative farming practices while adapting to modern cultivation methods and local business development.

Mazor contains residential areas, agricultural fields, and community facilities, serving a population of 1,330 residents as recorded in 2022.

The land encompasses archaeological treasures including a complete Roman mausoleum from the 3rd century, the only intact structure of its period in Israel.
