Sho'eva (Hebrew:שׁוֹאֵבָה) is amoshav in centralIsrael. Located west ofJerusalem, it falls under the jurisdiction ofMateh Yehuda Regional Council. In 2023 it had a population of 577.[1]
The moshav was established as a work village in 1950 byimmigrants fromYemen on land that had belonged to the Arab village ofSaris, which was destroyed in 1948. In 1952 settlement planning authorities decided that the village had been established by mistake and demanded that the settlers vacate. When they refused, the water supply and other services were reduced to motivate the residents to leave.[2] Although the village closed in 1952, it was re-established in 1959.
