Help Us Rebuild Kibbutz Misgav-Am.
Our Story, Then and Now.
Kibbutz Misgav-Am, called "Stronghold of the People", is located in Northern Israel. We are a small but vibrant community nestled in the mountains of the Upper Galilee region. We are known for our strong spirit and close-knit ties.
​
Founded on November 2, 1945, Kibbutz Misgav-Am was established by Palmach fighters atop a ridge 2,770 feet above sea level, along Israel’s northernmost border with Lebanon. Misgav-Am has long served as a critical frontline outpost, overlooking southern Lebanon, Mount Hermon, and the Hula Valley.
On October 8, 2023, Everything Changed
​
In the wake of Hezbollah missile attacks nearly all 300 residents were evacuated. A small team of veteran kibbutz members—the kitat konenut—remained to defend the border, later joined by IDF units.
Though no lives were lost, the damage was devastating:
-
90% of vineyards burned
-
Orchards destroyed
-
Chicken farm hit directly multiple times by missiles
-
Solar farm—providing 100% of electricity—heavily damaged
-
Kindergarten, clinic, swimming pool, homes, severely impacted and lookout point destroyed
