The population at that time was evacuated and a new settlement, Be'er Shalom, was established nearby by members of Kibbutz Buchenwald, the first pioneer training group formed in post-World War II Germany.〔(Kibbutz Buchenwald, Judy Baumel )〕 Two hospitals are located in Be'er Ya'akov: Assaf HaRofeh Hospital (near Tzrifin), and Shmuel HaRofe Geriatric Hospital. ==Sports== * Maccabi Be'er Ya'akov is the local football club. * Maccabi Be'er Ya'akov B.C., the local basketball club, plays in Liga Leumit, the second tier. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Be'er Ya'akov」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
