Kfar Haruv ( _he. כפר חרוב, lit. "Haruv Village") is an Israeli kibbutz located in the southern Golan Heights. A member of the Kibbutz Movement, it falls under the jurisdiction of Golan Regional Council.

Geography

The kibbutz is located on the edge of the cliffs 315 meters above sea level (about 525 meters above the Sea of Galilee) and 2 km east of the sea.

History

The community was founded in 1973, and took its name from an Arab village that once was located there, "Kfar Harav," which was apparently named for the village Haruva that existed during the Talmudic era. Its residents settled temporarily in Afik camp, and moved to the present-day location (the site of a Syrian army base that overlooks Ein Gev and HaOn) in 1974. The sixteenth Israeli settlement established in the Goland Heights, its members are native Israelis and immigrants from the United States. As of 2007 the population is 350 residents, of whom 70 live in the new neighborhood built in 2004.

Economy

The main employer of the kibbutz is the A.R.I. factory that it owns, which manufactures hydraulic equipment. The kibbutz continues to grow plants for agriculture, such as almonds, avocado, nectars, and peaches. It also has a cow stable for milk. There is also a laundromat and curtain-maker. The kibbutz is a partner in the tourist site Hamat Gader, and it operates Mitzpe LeShalom (the vision for peace), a place for recreation on the edge of the On Cliffs.
