Kfar HaRif (, lit. ''Village of the Rif'') is a ''moshav'' on the border of the Shfela and the Coastal Plain in south-central Israel. It is the largest community in the Yoav Regional Council. It is about one km southeast of Masmiya junction and about 2 km northeast of Kiryat Malakhi. East of the ''moshav'' flows HaRif creek, named after the community. Nearby are some wells. The ''moshav'' was founded at the end of 1956 by immigrants to Israel from Morocco. Afterward, immigrants joined from many countries in Eastern Europe. When it was founded, it joined the sector "HaMa'amad HaBeinoni" (the middle position) - a group of ''moshavim'' where the people who settled there paid for the economy they constructed, as opposed to most ''moshavim'' which received their property for free from the government. Today, the ''moshav'' is part of "HaIhud HaHakla'i" (the agricultural union). The community is named after the Rif (medieval rabbi Isaac Alfasi), one of the great codifiers of Jewish law, who lived in Fez, Morocco. Today, it is home to about 200 families (800 people), many of whom live in a new neighborhood east of the old village. In recent years, most residents have worked outside the community, while some continue to maintain an agricultural economy. The main branches of agriculture include orchards, vineyards, flowers and fowl. ==External links== *(Official website ) 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「Kfar HaRif」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
