Ganei Yehuda (Hebrew: גני יהודה, lit. 'Gardens of Judah') was a moshav founded in 1950 in the Ono Valley, adjacent to the cities of Yehud and Kiryat Ono. It was named after the biblical figure Judah whom was the fourth son of Jacob and Leah and the founder of the Israelite Tribe of Judah.
In 2003 Ganei Yehuda was merged into Savyon.[1][2]
Both Savyon and Ganei Yehuda are located on the land of the Palestinian village of al-'Abbasiyya (formerly al-Yahudiyya), which was depopulated in the 1948 Arab–Israeli War.[3]
