- Gva'ot Zaid
Gva'ot Zaid ( _he. גבעות זייד, lit. "Zaid Hills") was a
kibbutz in northernIsrael .The kibbutz was established in 1940 to the north of the former home of
Alexander Zaïd (from whom it took its name), who had been murdered in 1938. The founders were made up of members of the "Yerushalayimi"gar'in , organised by Yohanan Zaïd, graduates ofMikveh Israel organised by Yiftah Zaïd, and immigrants fromPoland andRomania .However, in 1950 the kibbutz collapsed due to disagreements between the residents. Some of them established the village of
Beit Zaid on the site of Zaïd's residence in 1951. In 1960 a centre for adults with special needs, "Kfar Tikva" (lit. "Village of Hope") was founded on the former site of Gva'ot Zaid.
