Kfar Bin Nun

Kfar Bin Nun is an agricultural moshav located in the Gezer Regional Council, situated on the fertile plains of the Shephelah region. The settlement occupies land at an elevation of about 145 meters in the Ayalon Valley area.

The settlement was established in 1952 by the Agricultural Union as part of early development efforts in the region. The land had been inhabited previously by a Palestinian village before the establishment of the moshav.

The name refers to Operation Bin Nun, connecting the settlement to biblical narratives about Joshua and military campaigns in this region. Visitors can sense this connection woven into the community's identity and local awareness.

The settlement is administered through the Gezer Regional Council, which coordinates services and facilities from its main office in Beit Hashmonai. Visitors should note that this is an active farming community focused on daily operations rather than tourism infrastructure.

Until 1967, the settlement received special financial support because it was classified as a border community near the Jordanian frontier. This designation changed after the 1967 war when the region's strategic situation shifted.
