Kfar Azar

Kfar Azar is a settlement in the Ono Valley of central Israel that maintains agricultural production near Tel Aviv. Today it lies within the city of Ramat Gan and contains homes alongside areas for vegetable cultivation and livestock.

The settlement was founded in 1932 by two pioneer groups who purchased land next to an existing Arab village. In 2007, it became administratively part of Ramat Gan municipality, bringing urban services to the area for the first time.

The name honors Alexander Ziskind Rabinovitz, a Russian Jewish writer, through an acronym of his Hebrew initials. Residents maintain a connection to their farming roots even as they live within an urban setting today.

The area is easily reached by public transport and offers straightforward access to nearby urban services. Visitors can explore the neighborhood on foot and see both residential areas and working farmland.

The settlement continues to grow vegetables and raise dairy cattle despite the modern urban sprawl surrounding the Tel Aviv area. This blend of farming and city living has become rare in the region today.
