Kerem Ben Zimra
Kerem Ben Zimra (Hebrew: <templatestyles src="Script/styles_hebrew.css" />כֶּרֶם בֶּן זִמְרָה) is a moshav near Safed in the Upper Galilee in northern Israel. It belongs to the Merom HaGalil Regional Council.
Overview
The Arab village Al-Ras al-Ahmar on the site was depopulated in 1948.[1] The moshav was founded in 1949 by immigrants to Israel from Turkey, to whom immigrants were added from Romania and Morocco. Rabbi Meir Yehuda Getz (1924–1995), a kabbalist and the first rabbi of the Western Wall in Jerusalem, was among the founders of the moshav.[2] The moshav is named after Rabbi David Ben Zimra, who was buried with his father Yosef near the moshav.
Kerem Ben Zimra nature reserve
In 1968 a 68-dunam nature reserve was declared[3] on the land south of the moshav. Flora includes Mt. Atlas mastic trees, Valonia oaks, Palestine Oaks, Buckthorns, and Styrax officinalis. [4]
