Shimshit, Community settlement in Jezreel Valley, Israel
Shimshit rises at an elevation of 226 meters in northern Israel, offering views across the Nazareth-Tir'an Mountains and Zippori creek valley.
The settlement was established in 2000 when architect Tzibi Springer took charge of planning and construction after the Housing Ministry withdrew from the project.
The residential community maintains an admissions committee that reviews all potential residents, following specific settlement policies for population management.
The settlement holds postal code 1790600 and connects to neighboring communities including Giv'at Ela, Rumat al-Heib, Ilut, and Zarzir through regional roads.
The modern settlement takes its name from Khirbet Shimshit, an ancient Roman-Byzantine village located one kilometer north of the current community.
