History
Kibbutz Gal'ed was established in 1945 by a gar'in of German HaBonim members which had formed in 1938. Because the land on which the kibbutz lies was bought with money donated by Isaac (Yitzhak) Ochberg (1879–1938), a South African philanthropist, Keren HaYesod wanted the kibbutz named "Even Yitzhak" (Template:Lit). However, eventually the kibbutz members had their way and the kibbutz was named Gal'ed (Template:Lit) to commemorate friends and family of the founders who had died in the Holocaust.[1] The land had traditionally belonged to the Palestinian village of Al-Butaymat, which was depopulated in 1948.[2]
Amongst the founders were the couple Giora and Senetta Yoseftal, both of whom were later members of the Knesset, with Giora serving in several ministerial portfolios.[3]
