Elyashiv (Hebrew: אֶלְיָשִׁיב, lit. God will bring back) is a moshav in central Israel. Located in the Sharon plain, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hefer Valley Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 715.[1]

History

The moshav was founded on a site once occupied by the Arab village Khirbet esh Sheikh Mohammed ("The ruin of Sheikh Mohammed").[2][3][4] Kh. esh Sheikh Muhammed became settled during the rule of Ibrahim Pasha, either by Egyptians or by hamulas (extended families) from mountain villages.[5] In 1882, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine found that it consisted of a few adobe huts among ruins.[6] Ancient glazed pottery has been found there.[3]

Although Yemenite neighborhoods had been established near many agricultural settlements, it was not until 1930 that independent Yemenite settlements were approved.

Petach-Tikva in 1931.[9] It is named after a high priest in the time of Nehemiah (Nehemiah 3:1).[10]

The land for the moshav was provided by the

Jewish Agency.[12] However, unlike with other moshavot in the Hefer Valley, no financial assistance was provided by the moshav movement.[13] The first decades were marked by continual conflict with the Jewish Agency.[14]

The population was 310 in 1945 and 460 in 1952.[8][15]
