Etymology

It is named after the Biblical Rimon (pomegranate in Hebrew) in the lands of the Tribe of Zebulun (Joshua 19:13), which "is identified with er-Rumane" at today's Arab village of Rumana, 2 km to the west.[1]

History

Beit Rimon was first settled in 1977 as a Nahal settlement. In 1979, a group of British immigrants joined the Nahal group and established a kibbutz at the site, affiliated with the Religious Kibbutz Movement.[2]

The kibbutz operates one of the largest dairy farms in the country, a chicken coop and a factory for agricultural and gardening tools. It also cultivates olives and field crops.[3]
