Devorah (Template:Lang-he-n) is a moshav in northern Israel. Located in the Ta'anakh region, near Afula, it falls under the jurisdiction of Gilboa Regional Council.

History

The village was founded in 1956 by immigrants from Morocco as part of a program to populate the Ta'anakh region. The name "Dvora" was inspired by the prophet Devorah (Deborah) (Judges 4:4), who defeated Sisera in the Book of Judges.
