Beit Zaid (Hebrew: בֵּית זַיְד or בית זייד, lit. House of Zaid) is a moshav in northern Israel. Located near Kiryat Tiv'on, it falls under the jurisdiction of Jezreel Valley Regional Council. In 2014 it had a population of 67.
History
The area was first inhabited in 1926 by Alexander Zaïd, one of the founders of Hashomer, his wife and four children. In 1940 a new kibbutz, Giv'ot Zaid (named for Zaïd) was founded to the north of Zaïd's former residence (he had been murdered in 1938) and was joined by several members of Zaïd's family. However, it collapsed in 1950. In 1951 the former residents of Giv'ot Zaid moved to the site inhabited by the family, and founded Beit Zaid.
