Shoshanat HaAmakim

Shoshanat HaAmakim is a residential settlement in the Hefer Valley region of central Israel, located north of Netanya. The community combines agricultural lands with residential areas and forms part of the Maarav Hasharon natural area.

The settlement was founded in 1951 as part of Israel's development following independence. The construction was carried out by Rassco, a major building company that contributed to the settlement of the region.

The name comes from the Song of Songs and refers to biblical lilies growing in valleys, reflecting a connection to neighboring settlements in the area. This choice of name shows how biblical texts shape the identity and naming of places in Israel.

The settlement sits on elevated ground and is easily accessible via roads that cross through the valley. Visitors will find a quiet, rural setting that works well for walks through the agricultural landscape.

The settlement takes its name from a biblical plant and sits at the edge of a regional natural area that preserves important ecosystems of the flat coastal plain. This location intertwines human settlement with the natural structures of the surrounding landscape.
