Brosh (, lit. ''Cypress'') is a moshav in southern Israel. Located in the north-western Negev between Ofakim and Netivot, it falls under the jurisdiction of Bnei Shimon Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 221. The moshav was established in 1953, with Moroccan immigrants making up most of the founders. Its name is taken from the Book of Isaiah, specifically Isaiah 41:19:〔Carta's Official Guide to Israel and Complete Gazetteer to all Sites in the Holy Land.

Brosh houses a service centre serving all three moshavim, including a library, an after-school child care centre, a club for the elderly and a medical clinic. ==Notable residents== *Nirit Bakshi, Miss Israel 2000 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「Brosh, Israel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
