Beit Uziel

Beit Uziel

Beit Uziel ( _he. בֵּית עוּזִיאֵל) is a moshav in Israel. Located near Rehovot, it falls under the jurisdiction of Gezer Regional Council.

The village was founded in 1956 by Jews who had emigrated from Morocco and from India. Due to its proximity to the country's major urban areas, the moshav, affiliated with Hapoel HaMizrachi, is now home to 450. It also houses agricultural pursuits including vineyards, poultry farming chicken coops, and greenhouses.
