History
Bitzaron was founded in 1935, on JNF lands, with the help of Keren Hayesod. In a book about Jewish villages in Palestine, the JNF says that the founders of Bitzaron organized themselves in 1929 before settling on the land as the Tel Hai group, and that in 1947 the population was 175.[1] A second wave of residents, including recently demobilized soldiers and their families arrived shortly after the 1947–1949 Palestine war. They were settled along a road, called Soldiers' Street, running west from the center of the moshav. A third wave of new residents, many of whom were new immigrants from Bulgaria, were settled along a road that runs east from the center.[2]
Its name was taken from the Book of Zechariah 9:12:[3] "Return to your stronghold, you prisoners of hope."
During the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, Bitzaron was on the front lines in the battle against the Egyptian army, and was bombarded by the Egyptian air force. The women and children of the village were evacuated to Rishon LeZion and Ness Ziona, while the men stayed to fight.
Economy
Bitzaron's economy is based on agriculture and dairy farming. The moshav has numerous citrus groves.
It is also notable for its buffalo dairy, founded by Irit and Hagai Treister, which also serves as a tourist attraction and contains a number of ad hoc facilities.[4] The buffalo herd was imported from Italy in 1995.[5]
