Shdema

Shdema

Shdema (Hebrew: שדמה) is a moshav near Gedera in the coastal plain of south-central Israel. It belongs to the Gederot Regional Council.

The moshav was founded in 1954 to absorb immigrants to Israel from Persia. After these people refused to live there, it was populated by urban residents who chose to live an agricultural lifestyle and arrived as part of the movement "from city to village."

The word "Shdema", which appears infrequently in the Hebrew Bible, means "field of produce". The original name was "Yefe Nof" (Hebrew: יפה נוף).
