Harish (Hebrew: <templatestyles src="Script/styles_hebrew.css" />חָרִישׁ pron. ha-reesh) meaning "ploughing", is a town (local council) in the Haifa District of Israel. At the end of 2006, the town's population was 3,900.[1] Its jurisdiction is 9,736 dunams.[2]
History
Harish was founded by Nahal in 1982 and converted into a kibbutz in 1985. In 1993 it was merged with neighouring Katzir to form a new town, Katzir-Harish.[3] However, the three settlements were split in 2012, with Harish remaining a town, and Katzir reverting to the jurisdiction of Menashe Regional Council.
The master plan of Harish was prepared by the architecture firm Mansfeld-Kehat Architects and calls for the expansion of Harish to Highway 65 in the north, and Baqa al-Gharbiyye in the south.[4] Initially Harish was envisioned as a Haredi city offering low-cost housing to this sector.[5] In 2012, a secular buyers group organized to bid on lots zoned for 400 housing units there.[6]
