Kerem Ben Zimra

The moshav extends across terraced hillsides at 822 meters elevation, surrounded by oak forests and Mediterranean vegetation within the Merom HaGalil region.

Established in 1949 by immigrants from Turkey, the settlement later expanded with newcomers from Romania and Morocco, forming a diverse agricultural community.

The settlement bears the name of Rabbi David Ben Zimra, with his burial site located nearby, maintaining connections to Jewish religious heritage.

The Rimon Winery operates within the moshav boundaries, while a 68-dunam nature reserve south of the settlement preserves native plant species.

Rabbi Meir Yehuda Getz, who became the first rabbi of the Western Wall in Jerusalem, participated in founding this agricultural settlement.
