Neve Harif (Hebrew: נווה חריף‎) is a kibbutz in the Arabah valley near Eilat in the far south of Israel. With a population of 25 families, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hevel Eilot Regional Council.

[edit] History

The kibbutz was founded in 1989 by city dwellers who wanted to establish a kibbutz that would combine the kibbutz ideology with a modern daily lifestyle. The community was established on a temporary site named Shitim, moving to the current site a year later. The kibbutz was originally named Avida (Hebrew: אבידע‎) based on its location, but was renamed Neve Harif in honour of Knesset member and kibbutz activist Moshe Harif who was killed in a car crash in 1982.
