Nahal Nahalal

Nahal Nahalal (נחל נהלל) is a tributary of the Nahal Kishon that flows through the Lower Galilee and the Jezreel Valley.

Geography
The stream originates from several small springs near Bethlehem of Galilee, at an elevation of approximately 150 meters above sea level. Its course runs southward, and between Nahalal and the Beit She'arim moshav, it is joined by Nahal Shimron. The stream continues southwest, passing near the Kfar Yehoshua railway station, and then joins the Nahal Kishon.

The stream is named after the biblical city of Nahalal, identified by the Sages in this area. Overlooking the stream is Tel Shimron (Khirbet Simonia), and during the Talmudic period, the section of the valley through which the stream flows was called the Simonia Valley, named after the city from the Second Temple period and the Talmudic period, which was identified by the Sages as the biblical Shimron.
