Ma'ayan Tzvi (Hebrew: מַעְיַן צְבִי, lit. 'Zvi's Spring') is a kibbutz in northern Israel. Located near Zikhron Ya'akov, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hof HaCarmel Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 750.[1]
History
The kibbutz was established 30 August 1938 as part of the
Maccabi youth movement who fled from Nazi Germany. At first, the kibbutz was called Ma'ayan.[2] It was established on land which had traditionally belonged to the Palestinian village of Kabera.[3]
In 1945, the name Zvi was added in honor of Zvi Frank, a Zionist activist and one of the heads of the
Jewish Colonization Association which purchased the kibbutz lands.[2]
The kibbutz manufactures optical devices and components for high-tech and advanced weapon systems.[4]
