Shekef, Agricultural moshav in Lakhish Regional Council, Israel
Shekef spans across elevated terrain at 421 meters above sea level, surrounded by mountain ranges and natural reserves in south-central Israel.
The Jewish Agency and Herut movement established Shekef in 1981 as part of the Star Villages Plan initiated to develop settlements near the Green Line.
The residents of Shekef maintain traditional cooperative farming practices while integrating both immigrant and native Israeli families into the community structure.
The moshav specializes in greenhouse cultivation of vegetables and grape production, supporting 601 residents through agricultural development programs.
In 2006, Shekef integrated a caravan village to accommodate families from Tel Katifa who relocated following the Gaza disengagement.
