Brosh (Hebrew: בְּרוֹשׁ, lit. Cypress) is a moshav in southern Israel. Located in the north-western Negev between Ofakim and Netivot, it falls under the jurisdiction of Bnei Shimon Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 221.
The moshav was established in 1953, with Moroccan immigrants making up most of the founders. Its name is taken from the Book of Isaiah, specifically Isaiah 41:19:
I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the acacia-tree, and the myrtle, and the oil-tree; I will set in the desert the cypress, the plane-tree, and the larch together;[1]
Two other nearby moshavim, Tidhar (plane-tree) and Ta'ashur (larch) take their name from this passage and the three of them are known as the Moshavei Yahdav (lit. the "Together Moshavim"). Brosh houses a service centre serving all three moshavim, including a library, an after-school child care centre, a club for the elderly and a medical clinic.
