Our moshav is nestled in the forests of the Judean mountains, 15 kilometers west of Jerusalem. We are the perfect home in Israel while you tour from Galilee to Eilat. The moshav is a quick bus ride or drive to the Old City, or a haven for those seeking a time of refreshment.

History of Yad Hashmona
The moshav was founded by a small group of Finnish Christians in 1971 in memory of eight Jewish refugees who were turned over to the Nazi Germany. Israeli Jews joined the moshav in 1978 on the common ground of faith in Yeshua HaMashiah (Jesus the Messiah) and belief in the Bible as the inerrant Word of God and as our standard for faith and practice. Most of the members are now Israelis and the main daily spoken language is Hebrew. The settlement is primarily engaged in tourism and carpentry.
