Givat Haim (Ihud) (Hebrew: גבעת חיים (איחוד), lit. Haim Hill (United)) is a kibbutz near Hadera in Israel. It falls under the jurisdiction of Hefer Valley Regional Council.
[edit] History
It was formed in 1952 by an ideological split in kibbutz Givat Haim (founded 1932), with Mapam-supporting members forming Givat Haim (Meuhad) which joined the HaKibbutz HaMeuhad movement, and Mapai-supporting members breaking away to create Givat Haim (Ihud), which joined the Mapai-affiliated Ihud HaKvutzot veHaKibbutzim. Today both kibbutzim belong to the Kibbutz Movement.
[edit] Economy
As well as agriculture, the kibbutz is home to Prigat, a major soft drink company in Israel.
