Kfar Ruth (Template:Langx) is an Israeli settlement organised as a moshav. It was established in 1977 in an area that had become a no-man's land between Israel and Jordanian-controlled West Bank at the end of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, before becoming part of the Israeli-occupied territories in the 1967 Six-Day War.[1] It falls under the jurisdiction of Hevel Modi'in Regional Council and had a population of Template:Israel populations in Template:Israel populations.Template:Israel populations
History
The settlement was established in 1977 and was named after the ancient village of Capheruta that appears on the Madaba Map.[2] Capheruta is identified with the adjacent Khirbet Kafr Lut.[3] Prior to the 1948 Arab–Israeli War some of the land had belonged to the Palestinian village of al-Burj, which was depopulated in the war.[4] According to ARIJ, after the Six-Day War, Israel confiscated 814 dunams of land from the Palestinian village of Saffa for the construction of Kfar Ruth.[5]
Economy
According to archeologists, grapes were grown in the region by the inhabitants of Modi'in. Tal Maor, a resident of Kfar Ruth, has revived the age-old tradition of winemaking through the establishment of a family winery, Ruth Vineyard.[6]
