Ahituv

Ahituv is a moshav in the Hefer Valley near Hadera, situated on fertile agricultural land in central Israel. The settlement spreads across farmland and residential areas surrounded by neighboring communities.

The moshav was founded in 1951 by immigrants from Egypt and takes its name from a biblical figure who served as high priest in Shiloh. Its establishment was part of the early settlement movement that built agricultural communities across Israel.

The community keeps alive its agricultural roots through local markets and seasonal celebrations where residents share their harvest and farming practices with each other. These events show how farming shapes everyday life and bonds between neighbors.

Visitors find a quiet rural setting with open fields, residential buildings, and local facilities that serve the community. The best time to explore is during seasonal events when the land is actively used and the community gathers.

The settlement operates on a cooperative agricultural system where families combine modern homes with farming on shared parcels of land. This model sets it apart from conventional villages and shows a distinctive way of living and working together.
