Nezter Sereni (Hebrew: נצר סרני, lit. Shoot of Sereni) is a kibbutz in central Israel. Located in the Shephelah between Be'er Ya'akov and Ness Ziona, it falls under the jurisdiction of Gezer Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 534.
The kibbutz was established on 20 June 1948 by Holocaust survivors from the Buchenwald concentration camp. It was initally called Nezter, a name taken from the Isaiah 11:1;
And there shall come forth a shoot out of the stock of Jesse, and a twig shall grow forth out of his roots.[1]
The kibbutz was also known as Kibbutz Buchenwald at the time. It was later renamed Netzer Sereni after Enzo Sereni, a Jewish Italian resistance fighter who was parachuted into Nazi-occupied Italy in World War II, captured by the Germans and executed in Dachau concentration camp.
