Geulim (Hebrew: גְּאֻלִים, lit. Redeemed) is a moshav in central Israel. Located in the Sharon plain near Netanya, it falls under the jurisdiction of Lev HaSharon Regional Council. In 2019 it had a population of 968.[1]

History[]

Geulim was founded on 17 November 1938 as a tower and stockade settlement by Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany, and was initially named "Bnei Geulim" (lit. Sons of the Redeemed).

In 1945 the residents moved to Kfar Yedidia, and members of the Talmon organisation of Yemenite immigrants settled in the area. They changed the name to Talmon-Geulim, and later to just Geulim.

During 1948 Arab–Israeli War it was temporarily occupied by Arab forces.[2]
