Bareket (Hebrew: בַּרֶקֶת, lit. "Emerald") is a moshav in central Israel. Located in the Shephelah around five kilometres north-east of Ben Gurion International Airport and covering 2,500 dunams, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hevel Modi'in Regional Council. In 2019 it had a population of 2,082.[1]
History[edit]
During the 18th and 19th centuries, Bareket was the site of the Arab village of al-Tira (Tirat Dandan). It belonged to the Nahiyeh (sub-district) of Lod that encompassed the area of the present-day city of Modi'in-Maccabim-Re'ut in the south to the present-day city of El'ad in the north, and from the foothills in the east, through the Lod Valley to the outskirts of Jaffa in the west. This area was home to thousands of inhabitants in about 20 villages, who had at their disposal tens of thousands of hectares of prime agricultural land.[2]
The village was established in 1952 by members of Hapoel HaMizrachi who had immigrated from Habban District in south-east Yemen on the ruins of the destroyed Palestinian village of al-Tira.[3] It was initially named Kfar Halutzim (Pioneers' Village) and then Tirat Yehuda Bet (after nearby Tirat Yehuda), before adopting its current name. Like other villages nearby as Nofekh, Shoham, Leshem and Ahlama (the former name of Beit Arif) nearby, the name relates to one of the 12 stones in the Hoshen, the sacred breastplate worn by a Jewish high priest (Exodus 28:17).[4][5][6][7]
