Gedera ( Hebrew גדרה, Modern Hebrew pronunciation [ geˈdeʀa ]; German "hurdle") is a place in the tribal area of Judah according to Jos 15.36 EU . Gedera - for a time also known as Katra - is an agricultural colony founded by Bilu pioneers in Palestine in 1884 in the southern part of the coastal plain ("Philistine Land"), roughly in the area of the old Gedera of the Hasmonean era.
As a result, supported for a long time by Baron Rothschild and the Chowewe Zion , it developed into a city with (2018) 28,092 inhabitants.
The recreational and lung sanatorium located there became important.
Gedera is now part of the Central District of Israel .
