Mabu'im, Community settlement in Merhavim Regional Council, Israel
Mabu'im is a community settlement in the Merhavim Regional Council area of southern Israel. It comprises residential neighborhoods arranged across the terrain of this arid region.
The settlement was established in 1958 as part of Israel's rural expansion program during that era. It reflects the nation's strategy at the time to distribute population growth across less settled territories.
Residents participate in community governance through local committees, making decisions about property sales and maintaining shared social values.
The settlement is accessible by local roads and sits in a region with dry climate conditions, so visitors should come prepared for heat and sun. The surrounding landscape offers little shade, making visits in early morning or late afternoon more comfortable.
The settlement's name derives from the Hebrew word for springs, connecting the modern residential development to geographical features of the region.
