Matan (Hebrew: מתן, lit. 'Gift') is a community settlement in central Israel. Located near Yarhiv and Nirit, it falls under the jurisdiction of Drom HaSharon Regional Council. In 2023 it had a population of 3,212.[1]
History
[edit | edit source]The community was founded in 1993, and took its name from[2] the Bible, specifically Proverbs 18:16:
A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.[3]
Its establishment was part of Minister of Housing and Construction Ariel Sharon's 'seven stars' plan to increase Jewish communities along the Green Line.[4]
