Ein Harod

Ein Harod (Hebrew: עֵין חֲרוֹד‎) was a kibbutz in northern Israel near Mount Gilboa. Founded in 1921, it became the center of Mandatory Palestine's kibbutz movement, hosting the headquarters of the largest kibbutz organisation, HaKibbutz HaMeuhad. In 1923 part of the community split off into Tel Yosef, and in 1952 the rest of the community split into Ein Harod (Ihud) and Ein Harod (Meuhad). It was named after the nearby fountain then known in Arabic as Ain Jalut, Ein Harod in Hebrew, or "Spring of Goliath". It was built on land formerly belonging to the villages of Qumya and Tamra.
