Tel Yitzhak (Template:Lang-he, lit. Yitzhak Hill) is a kibbutz in central Israel. Located in the coastal plain to the south-east of Netanya, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hof HaSharon Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 834.[1]
History
The kibbutz was established in 1938 by General Zionist immigrants[2] from Galicia as part of the tower and stockade settlement campaign. It was named after Yitzhak Steiger, a leader of HaNoar HaTzioni in Galicia.
Masua, a center for Holocaust research and commemoration, was established on the kibbutz.[3]
Nature reserve
Southwest of the kibbutz is an 8-dunam nature reserve established in 1968[4] to protect flora and fauna native to the Sharon plain.[5] Flora includes Ceratonia siliqua, Calicotome villosa, Thymelaea hirsuta, Prasium majus, Anagyris, and Lavandula stoechas.
