Adi (Hebrew: עֲדִי, lit. Ornament) is a communal settlement in northern Israel. It is named after the nearby Biblical settlement of Hali (which means "ornament" as Adi) in the tribe of Asher, mentioned in Joshua 19:25.[2] Located near Shefa-'Amr, it falls under the jurisdiction of Jezreel Valley Regional Council. In 2014 it had a population of 1,772.
The village was established in 1980 by native Israelis and immigrants from the Soviet Union as part of the Lookouts in the Galilee plan.
