Meitav (Hebrew: מֵיטָב‎‎, lit. Utmost, best) is a moshav in north-eastern Israel. The name derives[1] from Bereshit/Genesis 47,11: "Joseph ... gave them property in the best part of the land." Located in the Ta'anakh region, it falls under the jurisdiction of Gilboa Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 379.
