History

1943 establishment

The community was formed in 1943 in Rishon LeZion with help from the UK government by young Jewish refugees (olim) from Austria, Italy and Germany, all of whom were members of HaNoar HaOved VeHaLomed who had been educated at kibbutz Givat Brenner.

The kibbutz itself was established on 7 July 1943, as one of the "three lookouts" of the northern Negev, and was initially named Tel HaTzofim (lit. Scout's Hill). It was later renamed Revivim*Template:Meaning by Berl Katznelson after the magazine edited by Yosef Haim Brenner (for whom Givat Brenner was named), and its name is also taken from the Bible, Script error: No such module "Bibleverse".: "You (Lord) ... level its ridges, you soften it with showers."[2]

*The name Revivim was given to the group by Berel Katznelson, who sought in this way to emphasize the affinity of the core of the group (which received its training at Kibbutz Givat Brenner) to the writer Yosef Haim Brenner, who at the time edited a journal called "Revivim".

1948 war

During the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, Revivim fell behind Egyptian lines for several months. Members of the kibbutz lived in underground dugouts, and received food supplies by air and convoys that ran the Egyptian battle lines. Thirty members of the kibbutz survived the war, while eight were killed in raids and pitched battles with Egyptian forces.[3]

Mizpe Revivim 1948 museum

Near the kibbutz stands Mizpe Revivim[4] (lit. Revivim lookout), a museum depicting the history of the "lookout" observer points and the events of the 1948 war in the northern Negev.[5]
