Moshav<\/strong> Ein HaBesor (Hebrew for “Spring of the\u00a0Besor”) was established in 1982 by a group of evacuees from Moshav Sadot in Sinai as part of the Israeli-Egyptian Peace Agreement. The moshav is named after a particularly beautiful stream and spring that are located nearby, by the same name, which are popular tourist destinations for visitors from Israel and around the world; especially during the spring when the area is carpeted in red anemone flowers. Moshav Ein HaBesor is the second largest community in the Eshkol Regional Council<\/strong>, with a vibrant social and cultural life, every holiday celebrated by the majority of residents, creating a warm sense of community. In the moshav there is a swimming pool and sports center, physical activity for the youth, celebrations, parties, trips and regular activities.\u00a0The Besor stream begins at Mount Boker (near Sde Boker, in the heart of the Negev desert), and spills into the Mediterranean Sea near Al-Zahra in the Gaza Strip. In the Old Testament, the Besor was a ravine or brook in the extreme south-west of Judah, where 200 of David’s men stayed behind because they were faint, while the other 400 pursued the Amalekites (1 Samuel 30:9\u201310, 30:21): “So, David set out, he and the six hundred men who were with him. They came to the Wadi Besor, where those stayed who were left behind. But David went on with the pursuit, he and four hundred men; two hundred stayed behind, too exhausted to cross the Wadi Besor.” The immense floods that the river brings with it, mainly by means of its tributaries that originate in the Judean foothills and in Mount Hebron, create natural springs in the Western Negev. Small settlements already existed around these springs in prehistorical times. The largest of these springs \u2013 Einot HaBesor (the Besor Springs) \u2013 is the basis for the Besor National Park (Park Eshkol).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
