Bar Giora (Template:Langx) is a moshav in the Judean Mountains in Israel. Located between Beit Shemesh and Jerusalem, it falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Yehuda Regional Council. In 2024 it had a population of 757.[1]
History
The village was initially founded by the Herut movement on 18 October 1950 by immigrants from Yemen, and was first named Allar-Bet, later to be called Ramat Shimon.[2] It was established on land belonging to the Palestinian village of Allar, which became depopulated during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War. It is situated northeast of the Allar village site.[3]
The village was also called Eitanim, until residents eventually settled on the name Bar-Giora, after Simon Bar Giora. The Yemenite immigrants, dissatisfied with conditions in their new village, abandoned the village after a short stint of 2–3 years, and in 1954 the village was resettled by immigrants from Morocco.[citation needed]
Attractions
The village is home to the Sea Horse and Bar Giora wineries.[4][5]
