Meron

Meron is a moshav in the Merom HaGalil Regional Council in northern Israel, situated on elevated terrain in the Upper Galilee region. The settlement spreads across gentle hillsides with scattered homes nestled among fields and orchards that define its rural character.

The settlement was founded in 1949 following Israel's establishment as a new wave of rural communities took shape across the country. It became part of the Merom HaGalil Regional Council, which organized the region's governance shortly after.

The settlement grew from cooperative farming roots that still shape how residents live and work together today. People share resources and communal spaces while maintaining their own plots, creating a rhythm of shared responsibility and individual independence.

The moshav connects to regional road networks that link it with larger towns and provide access to essential services. It is a rural area where daily life and activities follow agricultural rhythms and seasonal patterns throughout the year.

The location below Mount Meron allows a range of crops typical of warmer zones to thrive alongside those suited to cooler altitudes. The elevated terrain creates moderate climate conditions that support both Mediterranean and temperate varieties throughout the seasons.
