Ya'ara (Hebrew: יַעֲרָה‎, lit. honeysuckle and honeycomb) is a moshav in northern Israel. Located near Ma'alot-Tarshiha, it falls under the jurisdiction of Ma'ale Yosef Regional Council. In 2019 it had a population of 752.^[1]

History[]

The village was established in 1950 on land that had belonged to the depopulated Palestinian village of Arab al-Samniyya^[2] by immigrants from Yemen, who were later joined by Jewish immigrants from North Africa and local Bedouin, and was the first mixed Jewish-Bedouin village in the country. It was named after the surrounding forests.^{[citation needed]}
