Nehusha, Agricultural moshav in Mateh Yehuda, Israel.
Nehusha sits at 421 meters above sea level, featuring agricultural plots, residential areas, and multiple rock-cut caves across the settlement grounds.
Established in 1955 and rebuilt in 1981, Nehusha occupies land that contains archaeological remnants from Hasmonean, Roman, and Byzantine periods.
The name Nehusha derives from Biblical references, connecting to Ir-Nachash mentioned in Chronicles and a passage from Psalms about strength.
The moshav operates under Mateh Yehuda Regional Council's jurisdiction, providing agricultural services while maintaining individual family farming plots.
Archaeological excavations revealed 30 cave entrances, 10 bell-shaped caves with plastered walls, and ancient agricultural facilities transformed into underground complexes.
