Timorim (Hebrew: תִּמּוֹרִים) is a moshav shitufi in central Israel. Located on the Israeli coastal plain around a kilometer south of the Malakhi Junction, near the town of Kiryat Malakhi, it falls under the jurisdiction of Be'er Tuvia Regional Council. In 2023 it had a population of 719.[1]

The village also functions as a community settlement for its community of non-members

History

[edit | edit source]

The village was established in 1948 by a gar'in of youth from South Africa, Romania and Egypt from the youth movement HaNoar HaTzioni as a kibbutz on Shimron Hill in the Lower Galilee, in the area now covered by the community settlement of Timrat. It was named after a carving in the shape of a palm in the temple: 1 Kings 6:29.[2] It was built on the land belonging to the depopulated Palestinian village of Tall al-Turmus.[3] In 1953 it was reorganized as a moshav shitufi, one of the first in the country. In 1954 the settlement moved to its current location due to a shortage of land at its original site.[4]

Economy

[edit | edit source]

Timorim's income in 2005 derived mainly from industry (74%), with additional 15% from agriculture and 11% from outside work of Timorim members and other sources.[5] Timorim has two industries: "Tomer Plastics" manufacturing plastic furniture for the institutional market (est. 1961–1975) and "Tomer 2000" manufacturing metal pipes (est. 1978). Agriculture includes cotton, citrus, olives, and walnuts. A dairy herd of 450 head is managed jointly with Kibbutz Hulda.
