Alonei Abba, human settlement in Israel
Alonei Abba is a moshav in the Jezreel Valley, in northern Israel, within the Haifa District. It is a small agricultural cooperative village where residents live on individual farmsteads set among open fields.
Alonei Abba was founded in the mid-20th century as part of the wave of moshav settlements established across the Jezreel Valley. The name means 'oaks of the father' in Hebrew, likely referring to the oak trees that once marked this part of the landscape.

The village sits between Haifa and the broader Jezreel Valley, making it a convenient base for exploring the region. A personal vehicle is the most practical way to get around, as public transport links in this rural area are limited.
The name Alonei Abba recalls a time when oak groves covered much of the hilly terrain around the Jezreel Valley, long before the land was cleared for farming. This tradition of naming settlements after trees or natural features is common across the region and gives each place a quiet link to the landscape it replaced.
