Ein Harod

Ein Harod stands at the foot of Mount Gilboa, featuring agricultural fields, communal buildings, and residential areas spread across the northern landscape.

The kibbutz, established in 1921 by Russian Jewish pioneers, split into two separate communities in 1952 due to political differences between Mapai and Mapam supporters.

The Ein Harod Art Museum, founded in 1948, holds extensive collections of Jewish art and remains one of the first art institutions in northern Israel.

The community operates agricultural enterprises, maintains recycling facilities, and implements energy-saving measures across residential and commercial buildings.

Ein Harod sits near the spring of Ain Jalut, where Mamluks achieved the first major victory against Mongol forces in 1260.
