Zrahia (Hebrew: זְרַחְיָה) is a religious moshav in southern Israel.[2] Located near Kiryat Malakhi, it falls under the jurisdiction of Shafir Regional Council. In 2023 it had a population of 856.[1]
Key Information
History
[edit]The village was established in 1950 on land that had belonged to the depopulated Palestinian village of al-Sawafir al-Sharqiyya.[3] Most of the founders were immigrants from Iran, although there were also some from the Maghreb, particularly Morocco. It was named after Zrahia, an ancestor of Ezra (Ezra 7:4), who came to the Land of Israel after the Babylonian captivity.[4]
