Tel Yitzhak
Tel Yitzhak (Hebrew: תֵּל יִצְחָק, lit. Yitzhak Hill) is a kibbutz in central Israel. Located in the coastal plain to the south-east of Netanya, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hof HaSharon Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 851.
The kibbutz was established in 1938 by immigrants from Galicia as part of the tower and stockade settlement programme. It was named after Yitzhak Steiger, a leader of Hanoar Hatzioni in Galicia.
Nature reserve
South-west of the kibbutz is a tiny (8-dunam) nature reserve, declared in 1968,[1] to preserve some of the original foliage of the Sharon plain.[2] Flora includes Carob trees, Calicotome villosa, Thymelaea hirsuta, Prasium majus, Anagyris, and Lavender.
