Mishmar Ayalon (, ''lit.'' Ayalon Guard) is a moshav in central Israel. Located between Latrun and Ramla on the old Jerusalem-Tel Aviv road, it is overlooking the Biblical valley of Ayalon (Joshua 10:12), after which it is named.〔Carta's Official Guide to Israel and Complete Gazetteer to all Sites in the Holy Land. (3rd edition 1993) Jerusalem, Carta, p.333, ISBN 965-220-186-3 (English)〕 It falls under the jurisdiction of Gezer Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 417. The moshav was founded in 1949 by a gar'in group of Holocaust survivors from Czechoslovakia. The Lehi forest is located in the moshav, probably because three Lehi veterans (Shimshoni, Vered and Even-Tseva) settled in the moshav in its early days. Its moshav's main industry is agriculture, particularly focussing on fruit, vegetables and dairy farming known for their high quality cheese. Artist Jonathan Kis-Lev, born in the moshav, portrayed its picturesque landscape in many of his paintings.〔 ; See also Thrope, Samuel (21 March 2011), (''"The Metamorphosis: Jonathan Kis-Lev's Jerusalems"'' ), ''Zeek'', a Jewish Journal of Thought and Culture, retrieved 5 December 2011 〕 ==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「Mishmar Ayalon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
