History

The kibbutz was founded in 1952 by residents of Givat HaShlosha and Ramat HaKovesh who had left the HaKibbutz HaMeuhad after its ideological split. The name was derived from its proximity to the source ("ein") of the Yarkon River.

Economy

The kibbutz was privatized, which encouraged children of members to return.[2] The kibbutz operates a banquet hall [2] and a secular cemetery that offers non-religious Israelis a burial option that skirts the religious establishment.[3] Together with Kibbutz Givat HaShlosha, Einat owns Noga-Einat, a factory established in 1930 that produces combat boots and shoes for the army, police and special forces.[4]

Civil cemetery

Einat was the first kibbutz to respond to the demand in Israel for secular burial. In 1991, it began to accept requests from people with no religious affiliation seeking an alternative to the Jewish burial ceremony.[5]
