Alonei Yitzhak (Hebrew: אַלּוֹנֵי יִצְחָק, lit. 'Yitzhak Oaks') is a youth village in northern Israel. Located near Binyamina, it falls under the jurisdiction of Menashe Regional Council. In 2023 it had a population of 174.[1]
History
[edit | edit source]The village was established in 1948 by Yehiel Harif to absorb children who had survived the Holocaust.[2] It was named after Yitzhak Gruenbaum, Jewish-Zionist journalist and activist, one of the leading figures in Polish Jewry.[2][3] Today the village is a boarding school that teaches 675 children (275 residential, 400 day students) from 7th to 12th grade.
Alonei Yitzhak nature reserve
[edit | edit source]A 31-acre nature reserve within which the Village is located was declared in 1969,[4] mainly of old Valonia oak trees (Quercus macrolepis), in close proximity to the youth village. Other flora in the oak forest includes Cyclamen persicum, Calicotome villosa, Ephedra, Sea Squill, and Asphodelus microcarpus.[5]
