Menuha, Agricultural moshav in Lakhish Regional Council, Israel

Menuha sits between Kiryat Gat and Kiryat Malakhi at 105 meters above sea level, with individual farming operations covering the surrounding fields.

Kurdish Jewish refugees from Iraq established this agricultural settlement in 1953 on former lands of Summil and Jusayr villages.

The settlement operates under the moshav system, where families maintain independent farms while sharing purchasing and marketing responsibilities through an elected council.

The residential population of 668 inhabitants contributes to agricultural production while maintaining connections to urban centers through regional transportation networks.

The name Menuha, meaning rest in Hebrew, connects to the biblical reference from Kings 8:56 and the Menuha VeNahala organization of Rehovot.
