Kfar Haroeh (Hebrew:כְּפַר הָרֹאֶ"ה,lit. 'Haroeh Village') is a religiousmoshav in centralIsrael. Located in thecoastal plain betweenHadera andNetanya, it falls under the jurisdiction ofHefer Valley Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 1,438.[1]
In 1929 theJewish National Fund bought 30,800 dunums of land from absentee landlords of the Arab village ofWadi al-Hawarith at an auction. After purchasing the land the JNF began the process of evicting the tenants of the land, a process that was complete by 1933.[2] Kfar Haroeh was established on 23 November that year and named forAbraham Isaac Kook, the first Ashkenazi chief rabbi ofMandatory Palestine. "Haroeh" is an acronym forHaRavAvrahamHaCohen Kook.[3] The founders were religiousJews whoimmigrated from Europe.
Ayeshiva in the moshav was founded byRabbiMoshe-Zvi Neria.[4] This was the forerunner of the numerousMamlachti datiTorah high schools associated withBnei Akiva.
Beit Hazon, initially a neighborhood of Kfar Haroeh, is now regarded as a separatecommunity settlement.
