kibbutz in centralIsrael . Covering 2,600dunam s, it falls under the jurisdiction ofHefer Valley Regional Council . In 2006 it had a population of 208.The kibbutz was established in 1950 by a
gar'in group ofHabonim Dror members and was named in honour ofHannah Szenes . In 1953, as a result of the split inMapam (with which the kibbutz members were affiliated), most of the kibbutz members defected to Maki. However, 120 members who disagreed with this left the kibbutz to found a new one nearby by the name ofYad Hana Senesh (which was disbanded in 1972). As a result, the kibbutz became known as the "only communist kibbutz." Today the kibbutz is a member of theKibbutz Movement , and is no longer regarded as being communist.
