Beit Yosef, Israel

Beit Yosef, Israel

Beit Yosef ( _he. בֵּית יוֹסֵף) is an moshav in the northern Israel's Beit She'an Valley. It belongs to the Beit She'an Valley Regional Council, and is located about 8 km north of Beit She'an, adjacent to Yardena.

History

Beit Yosef was founded in 1937 as a Tower and stockade settlement, but it was abandoned during the Israeli War of Independence after it was severely attacked by the Jordanian Arab Legion and Iraqi Army.

The moshav was founded anew in 1951 by immigrants to Israel from Kurdistan and Iraq. It is named for Yosef Aharonovitch, who was an influential figure in the Labor Party.
