Ganim’s story:
The source of the community’s name, as Jenin’s name – is “Ein Ganim”, part of the inheritance of the tribe of Issaschar. The region, it is thought, is the birthplace of Beni ben-Ginat – Imri’s competitor for the monarchy in Israel.
The settlement was founded in 1983 by a nucleus of families from northern Israel for the purpose of building a string of settlements in northeastern Samaria and to put State lands to good use. The community faces north to the Rahav valley, a southeastern extension of the Jezreel valley. South of the community is a nature preserve and antiquities from the Um Tut village.
