Zichron Ya’akov is a small town on the western slopes of the Carmel, halfway Between Caesarea and Haifa. Founded in 1882, it is a precursor of the Zionist movement and the establishment of the state of Israel.
Short history of Zichron Ya’akov
‘Zichron Ya’akov’ (In Hebrew: ‘In Memory of Jacob’) is one of the first Jewish agricultural farms in the Holy Land. Founded by the Baron James (=Ya’akov) de Rothschild, Zichron Ya’akov was named in his honor, and developed to a great degree thanks to his financial support. Rothschild also established a wine company in Zichron, which is operates to this day (Carmel Mizrahi). In the early 20th century a Jewish espionage organization called NILI operated from Zichron Ya’akov to support the British. Sadly, they eventually were uncovered and some of its members were hanged in Damascus.
