Sa'ar (Hebrew: סער, lit. Storm) is a kibbutz in the western Galilee in Israel. Located near Nahariya, it falls under the jurisdiction of Matte Asher Regional Council.
[edit] History
The kibbutz was founded in 1948 by members of the Socialist-Zionist youth movement Hashomer Hatzair, other Israeli citizens and Holocaust survivors.
The kibbutz gained recognition as the farming community in which the comedian Jerry Seinfeld worked as a volunteer at the age of 15 in 1970.[1]
