Mikhmoret, Coastal moshav in Hefer Valley, Israel.
Description
Mikhmoret is a moshav along the Mediterranean coast in the Hefer Valley, stretching from the beach inland and characterized by citrus groves, dairy farms, and carp ponds. The settlement blends agriculture with maritime activities in a mixed economic system.
History
The moshav was founded in 1945 by World War II veterans who had learned fishing techniques in Holland and brought these skills to the region. This establishment marked the connection between European maritime experience and Israeli coastal development.
Culture
The Hebrew name means 'Fishing Net', honoring the maritime roots of founding families whose way of life centered on the sea. Visitors can sense this connection today in the everyday tools and customs that continue in the community.
Practical
The moshav sits directly on the coast and is easy to reach by car along the main north-south road, with beaches open to visitors. A Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center within the settlement offers insight into marine wildlife protection.
Did you know?
The Mevo'ot Yam maritime academy within the settlement teaches students sailing and nautical skills, anchoring the link between formal education and seafaring tradition. Many Israeli sailors and naval officers have trained at this institution.
