Kibbutz Matzuva, 1946
Matzuva (Hebrew: מַצּוּבָה), also known as Matzuba, is a kibbutz in the Western Galilee in northern Israel. Located south of the development town of Shlomi, it falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Asher Regional Council. In 2015 it had a population of 1,116.
History
The village was established in 1940 by immigrants from Germany, members of the Maccabi HaTzair youth movement. It was named after the nearby Pi Matzuba known in antiquities, a place mentioned in the Tosefta (Shevi'it 4:8-ff.) and in the 3rd century Mosaic of Rehob.[2]
Economy
Due to economic problems, the kibbutz textile factory closed down in 2003.[3]
