Ashdot Ya'akov

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ashdot Ya'akov 1945

Ashdot Ya'akov (Hebrew: אַשְׁדוֹת יַעֲקֹב, lit.'Ya'akov Rapids') is a kibbutz in northern Israel. Originally founded in 1924 by a kvutza of Hashomer members from Latvia on the land which is today Gesher, it moved to its current location between 1933 and 1935. It was named after the rapids of the nearby Yarmouk River and James "Ya'akov" Armand de Rothschild.

Between 1933 and 1935 the kibbutz moved northeast of its original location, onto land which had been bought by the Palestine Jewish Colonization Association.

The children of Ashod Yaacov were evacuated during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, when the kibbutz suffered intensive shelling from Syrian, Iraqi and Transjordanian forces.[1]

In 1953, as a result of the split in the HaKibbutz HaMeuhad movement, the kibbutz was split in two:

South of Ashdot Ya'akov, at the confluence of the Jordan and Yarmouk rivers near the island of Naharayim, there is a memorial for the 7 twelve-year-old Israeli girls murdered by a Jordanian border guard in March 1997.[2]

Archaeology

In 1959, a basalt tombstone inscribed in Greek was found near Ashdot Ya'akov. The tombstone features a rectangular structure with a gabled roof on a trapezoid base, and bears the name Hagarea (Άγαρέα), with its design aligning with classical, Hellenistic and Roman period norms. While the female name's exact origins remains uncertain, it is likely Jewish, potentially linked to the biblical name Hagar, Abraham's concubine.[3]
