Bareket (Hebrew: בַּרֶקֶת) is a moshav in central Israel. Located in the Shephelah around five kilometres north-east of Ben Gurion International Airport and covering 2,500 dunams, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hevel Modi'in Regional Council. In 2014 it had a population of 1,825.
The village was established in 1952 by members of Hapoel HaMizrachi who had immigrated from Habban District in south-east Yemen. It was initially named Kfar Halutzim (Pioneers' Village) and then Tirat Yehuda Bet (after nearby Tirat Yehuda), before adopting its current name. Like Nofekh, Shoham and Ahlama (the former name of Beit Arif) nearby, the name relates to one of the 12 stones in the Hoshen, the sacred breastplate worn by a Jewish high priest (Exodus 28:17).
Another weary day
Has left me with a beautiful addiction
No work and all day play
Leaves me feeling happy
When the day is done
I'll suffer just like everyone
And I'll watch as my life starts collecting dust
And when my friends are all dropping like flies
I'll just go to another place in time
Another weary day
Has left me with a beautiful addiction
No work and all day play
Leaves me feeling happy
When the day is done
I'll suffer just like everyone
And I'll laugh as my life starts collecting dust
And when my friends are all dropping like flies
I'll just go to another place in time
Another place in time
Another place in time
I'll be the next
To die of sex
And desolation
I can't accept
The loneliness
