Shefer
Shefer
Shefer (Hebrew: שפר) is a moshav located near Safed in northern Israel. It belongs to the Merom HaGalil Regional Council.
The moshav was founded in 1950 as a work village for immigrants to Israel from Yemen. After the founders abandoned it, a new moshav was founded in the same location by immigrants from North Africa.
The name "Shefer" is borrowed from the blessing Jacob bestowed on Naftali in the Book of Genesis (49:22).
