Poria – Neve Oved (Hebrew: פּוֹרִיָּה - נְוֵה עוֹבֵד) is a communal settlement in northern Israel. Located to the south-east of the Sea of Galilee near Tiberias, it falls under the jurisdiction of Emek HaYarden Regional Council.[1] In 2006 it had a population of 896.
The village was founded in 1949 by immigrants from North Africa. In the past most of its residents worked in local factories or nearby kibbutzim, but today most are professionals working in Tiberias and the Lower Galilee.
