En Charod ( Hebrew עֵין חֲרוֹד ʿEjn Charōd , German 'Quelle des Charod' , English Ein Harod ) is one of the first large kibbutz foundations; the place is at the foot of the mountain Gilboa , near the Charod spring, in the north of Israel . Here on September 3, 1260, the battle of ʿAin Dschālūt between the Mamluks of Egypt under Sultan Qutuz and the Mongols took place.
En Charod was founded on September 21, 1921 by young workers from the Gdud haAwoda who came from Russia , including the writer Avraham Shlonsky . The place name comes from biblical times (for example Book of Judges, Gideongeschichte, Ri 7.1). In 1930 the settlement moved to nearby Kumi Tel-Josef. Yitzchak Tabenkin joined En Charod in 1922 and made it the center of the HaKibbutz haMeuchad kibbutz movement . Janusz Korczak visited En Charod on his trips to Palestine in 1934 and 1936.
“Here in the kibbutz, the English officer Orde Wingate stayed frequently at the end of the 1930s. He was one of the few Britons who supported Zionism by biblical belief ”. Wingate felt close to the biblical judge Gideon, who was associated with this area.
In 1953, because of ideological differences, it split into the neighboring settlements En Charod Ichud and En Charod Me'uchad. En Charod Ichud had 556 inhabitants in 2018, En Charod Me'uchad had 733 inhabitants in 2018.
Today in En Charod, which reunited in 1981, there is a large museum on the history and nature of the area, the Beit Shturman Museum , which also reports on Wingates' role, and the Mishkan, an art museum.
