History

[edit | edit source]

The kibbutz was established on 23 May 1939 by Jewish immigrants from Romania as a tower and stockade settlement. It was named after Moshe Glickson, editor of Haaretz newspaper between 1922 and 1937, who died on the day of the kibbutz' establishment.[2][3]

The economy of Kfar Glickson is based on agriculture (field crops, dairy farm), a handicrafts industry and rural tourism.[4] Omega, located in Kfar Glikson, manufactures paints and modelling dough for children.[5]
