Neve Ur (, lit. ''Fire Oasis'') is a kibbutz in the Beit She'an Valley in northern Israel. It is named after the Biblical town of Ur Kasdim in Mesopotamia, where Abraham lived, before he left for the land of Israel (Kanaan) (Genesis 11:31). Located on the Jordan River south of the Sea of Galilee, it falls under the jurisdiction of Valley of Springs Regional Council. It has about 350 members, of which around 165 are children. ==Geography== Neve Ur is located in the northern Jordan Valley in the Beit She'an region approximately 10 km north of the town of Beit She'an, and 15 km south of the Sea of Galilee. Highway 90 runs through the Beit She'an Valley past Neve Ur. The kibbutz and its building lay to the east of the road. On the west side of the highway, and some 500 meters above, overlooking its hillside citrus groves, is the most complete Crusader fortress in Israel, Belvoir Fortress. The Hebrew name of the fortress is Kokhav HaYarden (lit. ''Star of the Jordan''), for the nearby ancient Jewish village of Kokhav (star). When the site was restored by the National Parks Authority, they found that many of the stones used in building it had been brought up from a 3rd-century CE synagogue the Jewish town of Kochav, 700 m. lower down and southeast of the fortress. Muslims call it Kaukab al-Hawa (Arabic: lit. ''Star of the Winds''), and the Crusaders named it Belvoir (French: lit. ''Fair or Beautiful View''). The fortress was built overlooking the most important crossings on the river, including Naharayim (lit. ''Two Rivers'') 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「Neve Ur」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
