Talk:Nahalal

Moshav Ovdim
Nahalal was never Moshav Shitufi. It was established in 1921 as Moshav Ovdim and was the first Moshav Ovdim. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.136.5.36 (talk) 04:05, 18 November 2013 (UTC)


 * I agree with this sentence as far as I can determine. Neumann "Early Zionism" calls it the first moshav ovdim.  So does the Historical Dictionary of Israel (2nd. edn. p329).  That source, and also our article at Moshav shitufi, says that the first moshav shitufi was Kfar Hittim. Zerotalk 11:50, 8 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Proof: Registration of "Kfar Nahalal Moshav Ovdim Lehityashvut Shetufit Limited."under the Co-Operative Societies Ordinance, Palestine Gazette No. 721, Sep 23 1937, p25. I'll edit tomorrow. Zerotalk 12:04, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

Etymology?
I've heard people tell me that the name Nahalal is thought to derive from the Hebrew root נהל, which has meanings relating to "managing" in Modern Hebrew (e.g. מנהל "manager") but may have meant "to lead" in Biblical Hebrew. The idea is that the name indicates a place where livestock are led to water. Is the a folk etymology, or one which is supported by reliable sources? —Moxfyre (ǝɹʎℲxoɯ &#124; contrib) 21:47, 24 December 2018 (UTC)

Where does all the 1921 info come from?
Everything marked "cn|date=April 2020" seems to have one single source, which is escaping me. Not all seems accurate - see agric. school bit, tagged as "dubious" (est. 1921 or 1929?). Help! Arminden (talk) 16:48, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
