==History== The kibbutz was founded in 1952 by residents of Givat HaShlosha and Ramat HaKovesh who had left the HaKibbutz HaMeuhad after its ideological split. The name was derived from its proximity to the source ("ein") of the Yarkon River.
==Economy== The kibbutz was privatized, which encouraged children of members to return.<ref name=Ashkenazi>{{cite news |author=Eli Ashkenazi |date= 19 September 2007 |newspaper=Haaretz |url=https://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/keeping-the-kibbutz-from-turning-into-a-nursing-home-1.229631 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121102080525/http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/keeping-the-kibbutz-from-turning-into-a-nursing-home-1.229631 |url-status=dead |archive-date=November 2, 2012 |title= Keeping the kibbutz from turning into a nursing home |accessdate=13 August 2014}}</ref> The kibbutz operates a banquet hall <ref name=Ashkenazi/> and a secular cemetery that offers non-religious Israelis a burial option that skirts the religious establishment.<ref>{{cite news |author=Nathan Jeffay |date=22 February 2008 |title=Jerusalem To Allow Secular Burials |newspaper=The Jewish Daily Forward |url=http://www.forward.com/articles/12744/ |accessdate=13 August 2014}}</ref> Together with Kibbutz Givat HaShlosha, Einat owns Noga-Einat, a factory established in 1930 that produces combat boots and shoes for the army, police and special forces.<ref>[http://www.moital.gov.il/CmsTamat/Rsrc/HLS%202009/Html/PDF/HLS_185.pdf Noga-Einat Shoe Industries Ltd.

==Civil cemetery== Einat was the first kibbutz to respond to the demand in Israel for secular burial. In 1991, it began to accept requests from people with no religious affiliation seeking an alternative to the Jewish burial ceremony.<ref>{{cite news |author=Tali Heruti-Sover |date=12 March 2007 |url=https://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/business/kibbutz-burials-make-a-lively-business-1.215326 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101205091729/http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/business/kibbutz-burials-make-a-lively-business-1.215326 |url-status=dead |archive-date=December 5, 2010 |title=Kibbutz burials make a lively business |newspaper=Haaretz |accessdate=13 August 2014}}</ref>
