Yas'ur ( Hebrew: יַסְעוּר, lit. petrel) is a kibbutz in northern Israel. Located east of Acre in the Western Galilee, it falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Asher Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 923. [1]
The kibbutz was established in 1949 by Jewish immigrants from Hungary who were members of the Zionist Socialist youth movement Hashomer Hatzair; they were joined in 1951 by another group of immigrants from England and in 1956 by another group from Brazil. [2] The parents of Israeli historian Benny Morris were among the founders of the kibbutz, shortly after his birth. [3]
The kibbutz was established on the land of the depopulated Palestinian village of Al-Birwa, [4] and it uses the land of the depopulated villages of Al-Damun [5] and Al-Ruways [6] for agriculture.
Yasur's economy was based on textile and toy factories, which became unprofitable and closed down. In 2003 the kibbutz began a process of renewal and launched a successful membership drive. [7] An Italian restaurant, Liliana's, is located on the grounds of the kibbutz. [8]
