Beit Hashmonay, Community settlement in Gezer Regional Council, Israel.
Beit Hashmonay stands at 113 meters above sea level, positioned five kilometers southeast of Ramla in the central region of Israel.
The Jewish Agency established Beit Hashmonay in 1972 specifically for teachers working at the Ayalon School, marking a strategic educational development in the area.
The settlement bears the name of Simon Maccabaeus from the Hasmonean family, who captured the ancient city of Gezer located in the surrounding territory.
In 1987, the settlement became the administrative center for the Gezer Regional Council, with the council offices relocating to the village.
The land where Beit Hashmonay now stands previously belonged to the Palestinian village of al-Barriyya, reflecting the complex territorial history of the region.
