Shtulim (Hebrew: שְׁתוּלִים, lit. Planted) is a moshav in south-central Israel. Located near Ashdod, it falls under the jurisdiction of Be'er Tuvia Regional Council. In 2019 it had a population of 2,116.[1]
History[]
The moshav was founded in 1950 by Jewish refugees from Yemen, with the name taken from a passage in the Book of Psalms 92:13: "They are planted in the house of the Lord, they flourish in the courts of our God."[2][3]
Shtulim was built the land of the Palestinian village of Isdud, which was depopulated in 1948.[4]
It has been flooded multiple times due to its proximity to two rivers.[citation needed]
