Beit Hanan

Beit ­Hanan ( _he. בֵּית חָנָן) is a moshav, south of Tel Aviv, Israel, about two kilometers west of Ness Ziona. It belongs to the Moshavim Movement and Gan Raveh Regional Council. The population is approximately 500.

History

Founded during the Hanukkah holiday of 1929 by Jewish immigrants from Bulgaria, Beit Hanan was the first Jewish agricultural community to be established after the 1929 Palestine riots. The name is taken from the Bible, specifically (1 Kings 4:9).

In 2007, Beit ­Hanan had convert|750|acre|km2 of farmland. The main economic branches are eggs, orchards (pecan, citrus, avocado, mango, anona and olives) and greenhouses (flowers, vegetables and seedlings). The moshav also has banquet facilities on the grounds of a historic home.

A Greek-inscribed mosaic floor was discovered within the boundaries of the moshav. A rare species of red iris grows west of the moshav, in a wild flower reserve stretching over convert|8|acre|m2.
