Nahalal ( Hebrew נַהֲלָל) is the oldest Israeli moshaw . The place is west of Nazareth in the Jezreel plain and had 895 inhabitants in 2018.
The name Nahalals goes back to a settlement in the area of the tribe of Zebulun , which is mentioned in the Old Testament (including in Joshua 19:15). Although this place was in the same area, it can no longer be precisely located.
history
Some members of the first kibbutz Degania , who turned their backs on the concept of the kibbutz, were involved in the establishment of today's settlement on September 11, 1921 .
The planning for this moshaw Ovdim was drawn up by the architect and city planner Richard Kauffmann .
Nahalal is often seen as the prototype of a moshav, as the principle of this type of settlement (everyone manages for himself, purchasing and sales are organized as a cooperative) is structurally implemented in its floor plan. A ring road leads around an oval town center with the communal buildings, to which the villagers' properties of the same size connect to the outside - comparable to pieces of cake.

The best known resident of Nahalal was Moshe Dajan , whose family also moved from Kibbutz Degania in his youth; Dayan is buried in Nahalal.
