history
Kfar Szold was founded on November 13, 1942 by immigrants from Hungary, Austria and Germany. The kibbutz was named after Henrietta Szold , the founder of the Zionist women's movement Hadassah .

On July 21, 2006, Hezbollah fired several Katyusha rockets at communities on the Hule Plain, including Kfar Szold, injuring several people.
