Ravid (Hebrew: רָבִיד, lit.'Necklace') is a small kibbutz in northern Israel. Located to the west of the Sea of Galilee, it falls under the jurisdiction of Emek HaYarden Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 108.[1]

History

[edit]

Ravid is adjacent to an archaeological site which has been identified as Kfar Mimlah, home to the Hezir priestly family, which was exiled from Judea after the Bar Kokhba revolt.[2]

Ravid was established in 1981 by members of the Takam movement as part of the Galilee lookouts programme, including 10 families who had moved from cities.[3] The site was land that had belonged to the depopulated Palestinian village of al-Mansura until the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, southeast of the village site.[4]

However, after a social crisis, the kibbutz was dismantled.[3][5] It was successfully re-established in 1994 by former members of HaNoar HaOved VeHaLomed, and is now part of the Dror-Israel movement.[3]
