Shaharut
Shaharut
Shaharut (Hebrew: שַׁחֲרוּת) is a communal settlement 40 kilometers north of Eilat, and 6 kilometers west of Yotvata on a ridge above the Arava Valley in the far south of Israel. It is the only settlement in the area that is not in the valley itself. It belongs to the Hevel Eilot Regional Council. It was founded in 1985 and is named after the nearby Shaharut Mountain. As of 2010, twenty eight families live there amounting to 120 people.
The word "Shaharut" means "youth", as in Ecclesiastes chapter 11.
