Ramot Meir (Hebrew: רָמוֹת מֵאִיר, lit. Meir Heights) is a moshav ovdim in central Israel. Located in the Shephelah around four kilometres south of Rehovot, it falls under the jurisdiction of Gezer Regional Council. In 2024 it had a population of 674.[1] Near the entrance of the Moshav there is a small nature reserve with natural wild tulips.

History

The moshav was founded in 1949 by demobilised soldiers, and was named after the American philanthropist and dentist Meyer Rosoff.[2] Rosoff had bought the land around the Palestinian village of al-Na'ani in the 1930s for his company, Rosoff Group Plantations.[3] After the 1948 war, it expanded on part of the remaining al-Na'ani land.[4]

It collapsed in 1965, but was re-established in 1969 by a group of immigrants from France (who had originally moved there from North Africa)
