Revadim

Revadim

Revadim (Hebrew: רבדים) is a kibbutz in the Israeli Coastal Plain in south-central Israel. It belongs to the Yoav Regional Council. It is located about five km southeast of Gedera and just east of Highway 3. The kibbutz belongs to HaKibbutz HaArtzi. Its area is about 8200 dunams.

Revadim was founded on 14 February 1947 in Gush Etzion by members of Hashomer Hatzair, but it fell to Jordan, with all the other Jewish settlements in Gush Etzion, on 14 May 1948 during the Israeli War of Independence. Its members were taken as prisoners by the Jordanians.

The kibbutz was founded anew in its present-day location on 28 November 1948 on the land of an abandoned Arab village, by individuals from Revadim who were not taken as prisoners. Later, members who were freed from being hostages rejoined them.

The kibbutz has a memorial for those who fell in Gush Etzion. The statue was created by the sculptor Aharon Ashkenazi.

On Tel Mikneh in the area of the kibbutz the Biblical city of Ekron was discovered, and at the entrance of the kibbutz a small museum of archeological finds from Ekron was constructed.
