Gezer Regional Council

Gezer Regional Council is a municipal administration in the Shephelah region of the Central District overseeing multiple agricultural settlements across approximately 114 square kilometers. The headquarters in Beit Hashmonai coordinates services for the various kibbutzim and moshavim within this territory.

Gezer Regional Council was established in 1951 to structure local governance for growing communities in the central region. This development arose from the need to coordinate multiple individual settlements under unified administrative oversight.

The settlements within the council territory maintain farming traditions that shape daily life across generations. You can see how older cultivation methods blend with modern techniques in the fields.

The main office is located in Beit Hashmonai and serves approximately 24,900 residents through various administrative departments. Services extend across all settlements in the jurisdiction and often require visiting the office or contacting departments directly.

Beyond its role as an administrative institution, the council also functions as a publisher producing materials that document regional development initiatives and community efforts. This dual role allows it to actively share and preserve the stories of the settlements under its care.
