Bnei Re'em (Hebrew: בְּנֵי רְאֵ"ם, lit. Sons of Re'em) is a religious moshav in central Israel. Located in the Shephelah, it falls under the jurisdiction of Nahal Sorek Regional Council. In 2014 it had a population of 1,357.
Etymology
The moshav is named for the Gerrer Rebbe, Rabbi Avraham Mordechai Alter.[2] "Re'em" is a Hebrew acronym.
History
Bnei Re'em was established in 1949 by immigrants from Eastern Europe and Yemen on the lands of the abandoned Arab village of Al-Masmiyya al-Kabira. Until a pump was installed that worked on an automated sabbath clock, an Arab family that lived in the area served as a Sabbath Goy.[3]
