Kfar HaHoresh (Hebrew: כְּפַר הַחֹרֶשׁ, כפר החורש, lit.'Village of the Thicket') is a kibbutz in northern Israel. Located near Nazareth, it falls under the jurisdiction of Jezreel Valley Regional Council. In 2021 it had a population of 735.

History

The kibbutz was established in 1933 by members of the Gordonia youth movement who had previously been living in Ness Ziona. The land had been bought by the Jewish National Fund in 1930. Today the kibbutz has been privatized. The Arabic-language radio station Radio A-Shams broadcasts from the kibbutz.

The Kfar HaHoresh forest includes the remains of Ma'alul village, a depopulated Palestinian location.

A nearby archaeological site dating to the Pre-Pottery Neolithic B period has been under excavation since the early 1990s.

Sport

The kibbutz fielded a football team, which competed in Liga Meuhedet in 1949–50; the team finished eighth in the league's North Division.
