Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia | 0.07 sec. |
moshav(Hebrew: “settlement”) Israeli cooperative community that combines privately farmed land and communal marketing, sometimes with light industry as well. The land on a moshav belongs to the state or the Jewish National Fund. The first successful moshavim were organized in the 1920s. New immigrants were directed to these settlements in the early years of the State of Israel. See also kibbutz. How to thank TFD for its existence?

Members of the Kibbutzim and Moshavim in Galilee took over flocks of cattle and sheep left by the departing Palestinians. They came from partly collectivized moshavim and from kibbutzim whose collective economy is based in agriculture or industry. Just as the cheap Palestinian workers who built Israeli buildings and who worked the lands of moshavim and kibbutzim are gone, so is the Palestinian purchasing power which made the West Bank and Gaza so profitable to Israeli businessmen. |
