Elyashiv ( Hebrew: אֶלְיָשִׁיב, lit. God will bring back) is a moshav in central Israel. Located in the Sharon plain, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hefer Valley Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 715. [1]
The moshav was founded on a site once occupied by the Arab village Khirbet esh Sheikh Mohammed ("The ruin of Sheikh Mohammed"). [2] [3] [4] Kh. esh Sheikh Muhammed became settled during the rule of Ibrahim Pasha, either by Egyptians or by hamulas (extended families) from mountain villages. [5] In 1882, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine found that it consisted of a few adobe huts among ruins. [6] Ancient glazed pottery has been found there. [3]
Although Yemenite neighborhoods had been established near many agricultural settlements, it was not until 1930 that independent Yemenite settlements were approved. [7] After a prolonged struggle by the Yemenite Workers Federation in Palestine, three moshav ovdim were established: Marmorek in 1930, Tirat Shalom in 1931, and Elyashiv on 13 November 1933. [7] [8] Of these, Elyashiv was the largest and the only one that survived as a moshav. [7] The original fifty families were Yemenite Jews who had been in Palestine since the 1920s. [7] They belonged to an organization of Yemenite Jews called "Shabazi", founded in Petach-Tikva in 1931. [9] It is named after a high priest in the time of Nehemiah ( Nehemiah 3:1). [10]
The land for the moshav was provided by the Jewish National Fund, which had purchased a very large tract from a Lebanese Maronite in 1929 with the help of a bribe paid to the seller's legal representative. [11] Agricultural instructors were provided by the Jewish Agency. [12] However, unlike with other moshavot in the Hefer Valley, no financial assistance was provided by the moshav movement. [13] The first decades were marked by continual conflict with the Jewish Agency. [14]
The population was 310 in 1945 and 460 in 1952. [8] [15]
