Hulda, kibbutz in central Israel
Hulda is a kibbutz located in central Israel within the Gezer Regional Council, where residents work and live cooperatively. The settlement includes homes, agricultural fields, a large vineyard that is among the largest in the country, a factory producing transformers and power supplies, and a banquet hall called Yarok al Hamayim.
The settlement was founded in 1905 when a bank purchased land to establish a Jewish community, with the first farm opening in 1909. During the 1948 war, it served as a crucial base for supply convoys that brought food and provisions to Jerusalem during the siege.
The kibbutz takes its name from a former village called Khulda that existed in the region before 1948. Residents here practice shared living and mutual cooperation, gathering regularly for communal meals and celebrations that reflect the cooperative values at the heart of kibbutz life.
The kibbutz is easily accessible and sits near Hulda Forest and the historic Burma Road, offering visitors several points of interest to explore. The area has basic amenities and is best visited during daylight hours when you can see the fields, the factory operations, and communal areas.
The kibbutz hosts one of Israel's largest vineyards, stretching across many acres and producing grapes for wine production in the region. The settlement is also connected to writer Amos Oz, who spent a significant part of his life here and drew inspiration from the community for his literary works.
