Aluma

Aluma (Hebrew: אֲלֻמָּה or אלומה, lit. Sheaf) is an Haredi communal settlement in southern Israel. Located in the southern coastal plain around three kilometers north-west of Kiryat Gat, it falls under the jurisdiction of Shafir Regional Council. In 2014 it had a population of 503.

History

The village was established in 1965 as a youth village named Hazon Yehezkel by a group called Mosadot Hinukh Ezuri (lit. Institute for Regional Education), made up of young members of Agudat Yisrael. It was built on lands which had formerly belonged to the depopulated Arab village of Hatta. In 1996 the Ministry of Interior gave the village municipal council status and changed its name to Aluma.
