Kfar Yehezkel

Kfar Yehezkel

Kfar Yehezkel ( _he. כְּפַר יְחֶזְקֵאל) is a moshav in northern Israel. It is located in the Jezreel Valley, in the Harod Valley zone, 5 km southeast of Afula and near Mount Gilboa. It is part of the Gilboa Regional Council.

Kfar Yehezkel's population is 700 inhabitants (2006). It was built on lands bought by Yehoshua Hankin and founded in 1921 by an Ahdut HaAvoda group of Jews from the Second Aliyah, including former settlers of Tel Hai and Hamara, which was evacuated because of Arab attacks from Lebanon, as the second "moshav ovdim" in Palestine (3 months after Nahalal).

First named Ayn Tib'un after the neighbouring water spring, Kfar Yehezkel got its present name from Yehezkel Sasson, a finance minister of Jewish origin in Iraq, whose brother contributed to the acquisition of the lands by Jews in the Jezreel Valley. The moshav was planned in 1922 by the architect Richard Kaufman.

Notable persons from Kfar Yehezkel include the physicist Igal Talmi, who grew up there.
