History
Kfar Aviv was founded in 1952 by the Jewish Agency on the lands of the Palestinian village of Yibna.[2] The settlement was intended to absorb Jewish immigrants and refugees from Egypt. Its original name was Kfar HaYeor (Hebrew: כפר היאור; lit. Village of the Nile). The name "Kfar Aviv" was given as a reference to the Exodus of the Jews from Egypt, which occurred in spring as recorded in the Torah (Exodus 34:18). As time passed, the village absorbed families from Poland.[3]
The land area used for farming covers about 2,000 dunams. Most inhabitants of the village work elsewhere.[4]
