Mishmarot - kibbutz in central Israel

Mishmarot - kibbutz in central Israel, near the town of Pardes Hanna. It was founded in 1933 by a group of young Zionists who emigrated from Lithuania and Latvia. Mishmarot was the birthplace of several very popular Israeli singers, including Shalom Hanoch and Meir Ariel. Today the kibbutz has a population of 210 residents. Economic activities include woodworking, the cultivation of avocados and citrus fruits, and the operation of a poultry farm.
