Elifelet (Hebrew: אֱלִיפֶלֶט) is a moshav in northern Israel. Located on the Korazim Plateau near Rosh Pina, it falls under the jurisdiction of Mevo'ot HaHermon Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 728.[1]
Etymology
[edit]The name "Elifelet" is borrowed from several characters in the Hebrew Bible who were also named Elifelet, for example one of the sons of King David (2 Samuel 5:16, 1 Chronicles 3:8) and a repatriate after the Babylonian Captivity (Ezra 8:13).[2]
History
[edit]The moshav was founded in 1949 by immigrants from Yemen belonging to the Moshavim Movement on the former village grounds of the depopulated Palestinian village of al-Zanghariyya.[3] Although it was abandoned after several years, it was resettled during the 1950s by immigrants from North Africa and Iraq.
The moshav is known for producing edible grasshoppers for culinary use.[4]
