Erez (Hebrew: <templatestyles src="Script/styles_hebrew.css" />אֶרֶז, lit. Cedar), is a kibbutz in south-western Israel. Located in the north-western Negev around 18 kilometres south of Ashkelon, it falls under the jurisdiction of Sha'ar HaNegev Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 333.
History
Erez is named after the first nucleus that settled the kibbutz. They were members of the Noar Oved nucleus from Petah Tikva. They originally settled on ground in the area of Or HaNer in 1949.[citation needed]
In 1950, they were resettled in its current location on land belonging to the depopulated Palestinian village of Dimra.[1]
Economy
The kibbutz has three main industries; agriculture (arable and fruit farming as well as animal husbandry), manufacturing (the "Erez Thermoplastics Products" company manufactures plastic covered materials) and research and development.[citation needed]
