Tochelet?
Does anyone know what Tochelet, established in 1951 at 135155 is called today?

Also, I assume that there is a mistake in Morris, when he calls one of the settlement for Sharir, it should be  Shafrir,....and that it is the old name of Kfar Chabad? Or is it only part of Kfar Chabad? Huldra (talk) 20:32, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
 * According to he.wiki, Tochelet (תוחלת, or Tohelet as it should be according to WP:HEBREW) was absorbed by Kfar Chabad as it grew:
 * Parallel to the beginning of the settlement in Shafrir, a group of immigrants from Hungary and Czechoslovakia settled on another part of the village with Hapoel HaMizrachi. Soon after, most of the group left for the nearby settlement of Tzafria. In the 1950s, they were joined by other immigrants from Yemen. The settlement received the name "Tochelet" and at the end of the 1950s about ninety families were living there. At the same time, the people of Kfar Chabad started to try to annex the lands of the settlement, claiming that Tochelet was not utilising the agricultural land. In the early 1970s, the government decided to move Tochelet residents to a neighborhood built for them in the area and other places. Two families who refused to leave remained in the area.
 * This is sourced to this article, which if you use Google Translate, for some reason translates Tochelet as "Kfar Safita", "Kafr Sufza" and "Hope" in different places in the article. As you can also see from the above, Shafrir was the original name of Kfar Chabad. Number   5  7  22:02, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
