Tifrah

Tifrah (Hebrew: תִּפְרַח‎‎, lit. [She] will blossom) is a religious moshav in southern Israel. Located in the north-western Negev to the west of Eshel HaNasi with an area of 5,000 dunams, it falls under the jurisdiction of Merhavim Regional Council. In 2007 it had a population of 1,400.

The moshav was established in 1950 by immigrants from Hungary and North Africa. Its name is taken from the Book of Isaiah 35:1;

The wilderness and the parched land shall be glad; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.
