History

In 1929 the Jewish National Fund bought 30,800 dunums of land from absentee landlords of the Arab village of Wadi al-Hawarith at an auction. After purchasing the land the JNF began the process of evicting the tenants of the land, a process that was complete by 1933.[1] Kfar Haroeh was established on 23 November that year and named for Abraham Isaac Kook, the first Ashkenazi chief rabbi of Mandatory Palestine. "Haroeh" is an acronym for HaRav Avraham HaCohen Kook.[2] The founders were religious Jews who immigrated from Europe.

A yeshiva in the moshav was founded by Rabbi Moshe-Zvi Neria.[3] This was the forerunner of the numerous Mamlachti dati Torah high schools associated with Bnei Akiva.
