Revaha (Hebrew: רְוָחָה, lit. prosperity) is a religious moshav in south-central Israel. Located in the southern Shephelah near Kiryat Gat, it falls under the jurisdiction of Shafir Regional Council. In 2023 it had a population of 670.[1]
History
[edit | edit source]Revaha was established in 1953 by Jewish immigrants from Kurdistan on lands which had formerly belonged to the depopulated Palestinian village of Karatiyya.[2] It is located close to Hatta, but not on its village land.[3] The name of the moshav is derived both from the symbolic significance of the name itself and from the quote in Pirkei Avot 1:5: "Let thy house be wide open".[4]
The majority of residents are national-religious. [citation needed]
