Azaria (Hebrew: עֲזַרְיָה) or Azarya is a moshav in central Israel. Located in the Shephelah around five kilometres south-east of Ramle, it falls under the jurisdiction of Gezer Regional Council. In 2023 it had a population of 1,322.[1]
Etymology
[edit | edit source]Its name is symbolic, though there is a theory that it was named after Azariah of Judah. The symbolic meaning is an acronym from the Hebrew religious sentence 'עולי זאכו ראו ישועת ה (Oleh zakho ra'u yeshuat HaShem, lit. "Immigrants of Zakho (village in Kurdistan) saw the salvation of the Lord").[2]
History
[edit | edit source]The moshav was established on the land of the depopulated Palestinian village of Al-Barriyya on 30 October 1949 by 25 families from Jerusalem as part of the "From the city to the village" plan.[3][4]
