Ein HaEmek (Hebrew: עֵין הָעֵמֶק‎, lit. Eye of the Valley) is a community settlement in northern Israel. Located near Yokneam, it falls under the jurisdiction of Megiddo Regional Council. As of 2019 it had a population of 803.[1]

History[]

The village was established as a moshav in 1944 by a group of 30 immigrant families from Kurdistan, and was initially named Kedem after the organisation which helped the founders make aliyah.[citation needed]

After the Palestinian village of al-Rihaniyya was depopulated in the 1948 Palestine war, Ein HaEmek and Ramat HaShofet have used its lands.[2]
