Timorim (Hebrew: תימורים, lit. Risings) is a village in central Israel which functions as a cross between a moshav and a communal settlement. Located on the Israeli coastal plain around a kilometer south of the Malakhi Junction, it falls under the jurisdiction of Be'er Tuvia Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 710.
It was established in 1948 by a Gar'in of youth from South Africa, Romania and Egypt as a kibbutz on Shimron Hill in the Lower Galilee, in the area now covered by the communal settlement of Timrat. In 1953 it was decided to become a moshav, one of the first in the country. In 1954 the settlement moved to its current location due to a shortage of land at its original site.[1]
