Kerem Ben Zimra
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kerem Ben Zimra (Hebrew: כרם בן זמרה) is a moshav near Safed in the Upper Galilee in northern Israel. It belongs to the Merom HaGalil Regional Council.
The moshav was founded in 1949 by immigrants to Israel from Turkey, to whom immigrants were added from Romania and Morocco. Rabbi Meir Yehuda Getz (1924-1995), a kabbalist and the first rabbi of the Western Wall in Jerusalem, was among the founders of the moshav.[citation needed]
The moshav is named after Rabbi David Ben Zimra, who was buried with his father Yosef near the community.
