Giv'at Brenner ( Hebrew גבעת ברנר English Giv'at Brenner ), located near Rechovot south of Tel Aviv , is the largest kibbutz in Israel based on the number of inhabitants - 2703 (as of 2018) .
history
Giv'at Brenner was founded in 1928 by mostly young people from Russia and Poland on land belonging to the Jewish Agency and is named after the Ukrainian writer Josef Chaim Brenner , who was murdered in 1921 . The Kvutza ( Eng . "Group") of initially 33 people with a few tents organized itself as a socialist collective. Soon, in a second wave of immigration, people from Lithuania and Western Europe who wanted to build up followed suit. After the lifting of the British immigration ban in 1928, these included members of the Kibbutz Cheruth (dt. "Freedom") as a youth group from the vicinity of Hameln . They first went to Rechovot and came to Giv'at Brenner in 1930. A second emigration from Germany followed in 1930 with 90 people who also went to Giv'at Brenner. The initiator of Kibbutz Cheruth, the Hamelin dentist Hermann Gradnauer , went to Palestine in 1934 and settled in Giv'at Brenner in 1942, where he continued to work as a dentist.
Gradually fruit plantations, a canning factory, furniture production, a plant for the manufacture of irrigation technology, schools and community facilities were built.
One of Giv'at Brenner's pioneers, Enzo Sereni (1905–1944), fell into the hands of the Germans after a parachute jump in Italy in an attempt to rescue persecuted Jews in 1944 and was murdered in the Dachau concentration camp . As a pacifist, he tried to ensure the peaceful coexistence of Arab and Jewish citizens of Palestine.
In 1952 a group split off from Giv'at Brenner and founded the Kibbutz Netzer Sereni . The reason was differences of opinion about the attitude towards the Soviet Union.
The writer Amos Oz taught at a school there. General Yitzhak Sadeh , the historian and educator Chaim Seeligmann, and the sculptor and architect Frank Meisler are buried in Giv'at Brenner.
