Moshav
Yad Natan, founded in 1953 was the first settlement established in the
Lachish Regional Council. Its first residents were new immigrant holocaust
survivors from Hungary and the moshav was named for Natan Kumu, president
of the Hungarian Zionist Federation who did not survive the war.
In 1973, the moshav absorbed 24 families from South
America.
Yad Natan presently numbers 242 residents. Most of the
families support themselves through agriculture, growing roses for export,
orchards, vegetables and chickens
