Menuha

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Menuha (Hebrew: מנוחה) is a moshav in south-central Israel, a few km north of Kiryat Gat and south of Kiryat Malakhi. It belongs to the Lakhish Regional Council.

It was founded in 1953 by immigrants to Israel from Kurdistan and Iraq.

This community, along with the neighboring Nahla, are named for the Menuha VeNahala (Hebrew: מנוחה ונחלה) organization that founded Rehovot.

Rabbi Shabtai ben Hayyim has been the rabbi of the community since it began. He serves the entire Lakhish region.
