Giv'ot Zaid

Givat Zaid (Hebrew: גבעות זייד‎, lit. Zaid Hills) was a kibbutz in northern Israel.

Givat Zaid, 1946

History

The kibbutz was established in 1940 to the north of the former home of Alexander Zaïd (from whom it took its name), who was murdered in 1938.[1] The founders were made up of members of the Yerushalayimi gar'in organised by Yohanan Zaïd, graduates of Mikveh Israel organised by Yiftah Zaïd, and immigrants from Poland and Romania.

In 1950 the kibbutz was dissolved due to disagreements between the residents. Some of them established the village of Beit Zaid on the site of Zaïd's residence in 1951. In 1960 a centre for adults with special needs, Kfar Tikvah (lit. Village of Hope) was founded on the site of Givat Zaid.
