Adanim (Hebrew: עֲדָנִים, engl. Delights) is a moshav in central Israel. Located in the Sharon plain near Hod HaSharon, it falls under the jurisdiction of Drom HaSharon Regional Council. In 2019 it had a population of 515.[1]

History[]

The moshav was founded in 1950 by immigrants from Romania, and was initially called Yarkona BeHarhava (Hebrew: ירקונה בהרחבה, lit. Yarkona Expansion) and then renamed after Psalm 36:8(9):[2] "You give them drink from Your river of delights."

Adanim was founded on the land of the depopulated Palestinian village of Biyar 'Adas.[3]
