Kedma (Hebrew: קֵדְמָה) is a youth village in south-central Israel. Located in the southern Shephelah, it falls under the jurisdiction of Yoav Regional Council.
History
[edit | edit source]Kedma was founded as a kibbutz as part of the 11 points in the Negev campaign in 1946. It was founded on land traditionally belonging to the Palestinian village of Summil.[2] After 1948, it also started to farm some of the land belonging to Bil'in.[3]
Because of social and economic difficulties the kibbutz was abandoned in 1962. In 1971 a group of American Jewish youths settled on the site in an unsuccessful attempt to revive the community.[4] It was reconstituted as a youth village in 1979.
