Merkaz Hever

Merkaz Hever

Merkaz Hever (Hebrew: מֶרְכַּז חֶבֶר‎‎) is a communal settlement in the Ta'anakh region in northern Israel. It belongs to the Gilboa Regional Council.

The community was founded originally in 1958 as a regional center for the three neighboring communities: Barak, Adirim, and Devorah.

In 1982 it was converted to a communal settlement, and it was expanded.

The name Merkaz Hever is connected to Yael, the wife of Hever the Kenite (Judges 4:17), after whom another communal settlement nearby is namend (Merkaz Yael). The story described in Judges took place in this area.
