Nahala (Hebrew: נַחֲלָה‎, lit. Estate) is a moshav in south-central Israel. Located a few kilometers north of Kiryat Gat and south of Kiryat Malakhi., it falls under the jurisdiction of Yoav Regional Council. In 2019 it had a population of 717.[1]

History[]

The community was founded in 1953 by Yemeni Jewish refugees on land that had belonged to the depopulated Palestinian village of Summil.[2] The founders had originally established moshav Agur in 1950.[3] Along with the neighboring Menuha, it was named for the Menuha VeNahala (Hebrew: מנוחה ונחלה‎) organization that founded Rehovot.[citation needed]
