Yesodot (Hebrew: יְסוֹדוֹת, lit. Foundations) is a religious moshav shitufi in central Israel. Located in the Shephelah, it falls under the jurisdiction of Nahal Sorek Regional Council. In 2006, it had a population of 434.
The village was established at a control point on the Burma Road in 1948 during the Arab-Israeli War. The community had been established two years earlier by immigrants from Hungary and Poland.
The kibbutz was established on the land of the depopulated Palestinian village named Umm Kalkha in July 1948.[1][2]
