Shoshanat HaAmakim (Hebrew: שׁוֹשַׁנַּת הָעֲמָקִים, lit. Lily of the Valleys) is a community settlement in central Israel. Located to the north of Netanya, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hefer Valley Regional Council. In 2019 it had a population of 505.[1]

History[]

The village was established in 1951 and was built by the Rassco company. Its name is taken from the Song of Songs 2:1;

I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys.[2] (From modern Hebrew, this can also be translated as "lily of Sharon, a rose of the valleys".)

The neighbouring moshav Havatzelet HaSharon ("rose/lily of Sharon") is named after the first part of this verse.
