[edit] History
Even Yehuda is named for Eliezer Ben-Yehuda, one of the leading figures in the revival of the Hebrew language. It was founded in December 1932 by the Bnei Benyamin society and the Notea corporation. The economy was based on citrus growing.[3]Even Yehuda is bordered on the east by Kadima and Tel Mond, on the north by Lev HaSharon and on the west by Netanya. Hof HaSharon lies to the south.[4]
In 2007, the Walworth Barbour American International School in Israel (WBAIS) moved to a new campus in Even Yehuda.[5]
