Ein Harod

Ein Harod ( ) was a kibbutz in Israel. It was located in northern Israel near Mount Gilboa . It is notable for being built near the battlefield of Ayn Jalut (the Arabic name for Ein Harod), a battle of huge macro-historical importance where the Mongols were defeated for the first time, in 1260. Founded by pioneers of the Third Aliyah in 1921 on a tract of land near Ma'ayan Harod (Harod Spring, mentioned in the Bible (Judges 7:1) as a place of judge Gideon), the kibbutz moved to a permanent location at the foot of Kumi Hill in 1931. In 1952, in the wake of ideological differences between supporters of the two main socialist parties, Mapai and Mapam , the kibbutz split, creating two separate kibbutzim: Ein Harod (Ihud) (affiliated with Mapai and belonging to Ihud HaKvutzot veHaKibbutzim ) Ein Harod (Meuhad) (affiliated with Mapam and belonging to HaKibbutz HaMeuhad ) Today both kibbutzim belong to the same movement, the United Kibbutz Movement .
