Magdiel (Template:Lang-he) is one of the four original communities of Jewish agriculturalists that combined in 1964 to form Hod Hasharon, Israel. It was founded in 1924 and according to a census conducted in 1931 by the British Mandate authorities had a population of 740.[1]
History
Magdiel was established as a moshava, starting on 4,000 dunams of land purchased near the Arab village of Biyar 'Adas. The initial population included Jewish immigrants from Russia, Poland and Lithuania, later joined by a group from the Netherlands.[2] In 1964, four villages - Magdiel, Ramatayim, Hadar, and Ramat Hadar - merged to become Hod Hasharon.[3]

The place name is symbolic Meged El (i.e., the oil of God)"[4] and appears in the Tanach/Old Testament. Magdiel was the name of an Edomite clan (possibly the name of an eponymous chieftain) mentioned in Genesis 36:43. Its invocation of El may show that that deity was worshipped in Edom, along with Kaus and others.
Magdiel is the location of a Youth Aliyah boarding school of that name that took in young survivors of the Holocaust.[5] Other schools there include a comprehensive secondary school and a technical vocational boarding school of the ORT educational network.
