Beit Lid Immigration Camp

The camp occupied a large area in the Sharon Plain region, featuring temporary housing structures arranged in organized sections for new arrivals.

Established in 1949 as part of Israel's absorption program, Beit Lid Immigration Camp housed approximately 35,000 residents at its peak in 1959.

The camp brought together Jewish immigrants from various countries, creating a community where different languages and traditions merged in daily life.

Residents of the camp participated in agricultural activities within the Sharon Plain area, contributing to local food production while learning farming methods.

The camp operated until 1967, marking the final period of the Ma'abarot system that accommodated Jewish refugees during Israel's early statehood.
