Amnon (moshav)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Amnon (Hebrew: אמנון) is a workers' moshav in the Upper Galilee in northern Israel. It belongs to the Mevo'ot HaHermon Regional Council and HaOved HaTzioni (part of Hanoar Hatzioni. It is located in the Korazim region, north of Kfar Nahum and Lake Kinneret and east of Safed.
The moshav was founded in 1983 for evacuees of former Israeli settlements in Sinai after the peace agreement between Israel and Egypt, and for people in neighboring moshavim, by the Jewish Agency.
The name is based on the Tilapia fish, which is called "Amnon" in Hebrew, and which lives in the nearby Kinneret lake.
70 families live in the moshav.
