HaHotrim (Hebrew: הַחוֹתְרִים, lit.'The Rowers') is a kibbutz in northern Israel. Located near Tirat Carmel, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hof HaCarmel Regional Council. In 2024 it had a population of 941.[1]
History
The beginnings of the kibbutz were in December 1941, with the formation of a work company near Kiryat Haim by Jewish refugees from Czechoslovakia and Germany.[2] The meaning of the name HaHotrim (The Rowers) is symbolising the wishes of the founders to engage in fishing.[3] The kibbutz was established in 1952 on land that had belonged to the depopulatedPalestinian village named al-Tira.[4][5]
