Giv'at Ye'arim
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Giv'at Ye'arim (Hebrew: גבעת יערים) (lit. "Hill of Forests") is a semi-cooperative moshav in the Judean Mountains founded in 1950 by Yemenite immigrants. It is administered by Matte Yehuda Regional Council.
Giva't Ye'arim is associated with Gibeath, a city mentioned in the Book of Joshua (18:28).
In the past, the majority of Giv'at Ye'arim residents worked in agriculture, particularly viticulture and poultry-breeding. Today, many hold jobs outside the moshav, mainly in Jerusalem and Mevaseret Zion.
