HaMa'apil (Hebrew: הַמַּעְפִּיל‎, lit. The illegal immigrant) is a kibbutz in central Israel. It is located near Ahituv within the jurisdiction of the Hefer Valley Regional Council. In 2019 it had a population of 869.

History[]

The community was established in Hadera in 1938 by a gar'in group comprising Hashomer Hatzair members who had immigrated from Galicia, Poland, Germany and Austria. The group received training in Beit Zera, Ma'abarot and Merhavia. Most of the members were illegal immigrants (known in Hebrew as Ma'apilim) to Mandatory Palestine.[citation needed]

The kibbutz itself was founded on 2 November 1945, on land bought from the Palestinian Arab village of Qaqun.[2]

Notable residents include Chaya Arbel, a German-born composer.[3]
