Menuha () is a moshav in south-central Israel, a few km north of Kiryat Gat and south of Kiryat Malakhi. It belongs to the Lakhish Regional Council. It was founded in 1953 by immigrants to Israel from Kurdistan and Iraq. This community, along with the neighboring Nahla, are named after "Biblical passage "Blessed be the Lord who has given rest to his people Israel ..."〔Carta's Official Guide to Israel and Complete Gazetteer to all Sites in the Holy Land. (3rd edition 1993) Jerusalem, Carta, p.323 , ISBN 965-220-186-3 (English)〕 (1 Kings 8:56) and for the Menuha VeNahala (Hebrew: מנוחה ונחלה) organization that founded Rehovot. ''Menuha'' means "rest" or "ease" in Hebrew. Rabbi Shabtai ben Hayyim has been the rabbi of the community since it began. He serves the entire Lakhish region. It was founded on land belonging to the Palestinian village of Summeil, which was depopulated in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. ==References== 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「Menuha」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
