Ga'ash (Hebrew: גַּעַשׁ, lit. Storm) is a kibbutz in central Israel. "Named after Biblical mountain of Gaash"^[1] beside the grave of Joshuah in Ephraim (Joshuah 24:30). Located to the north of Tel Aviv, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hof HaSharon Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 515.

The kibbutz was established on 5 July 1951 by a group of immigrants from South America who were members of the Latin America "A Group" of Hashomer Hatzair. The founders had defended Negba during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, and had formed the kibbutz community at Ahli Kahsem near Bnei Zion in November 1949.
