**Inbar** ([Hebrew](/source/Hebrew_language): ענבר) (lit. "amber") is a [kibbutz](/source/Kibbutz) near [Karmiel](/source/Karmiel) in the [Galilee](/source/Galilee) in northern [Israel](/source/Israel). Inbar is the country's smallest kibbutz, with only about 10 members.[1]

## History

Inbar is situated on the site of the biblical village of [Kfar Hananya](/source/Kfar_Hananya), which Jews continuously inhabited from the [First Temple](/source/First_Temple) period until the 16th century. The Biblical village was situated along the banks of [Nahal Tzalmon](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nahal_Tzalmon&action=edit&redlink=1) and was known for its high-quality earthenware pottery. Rabbi [Halafta](/source/Halafta), one of the great interpreters of the [Mishnah](/source/Mishnah), lived there in the [Talmudic](/source/Talmud) era and is buried there. In the 16th century, the community was abandoned, and its residents moved to [Peki'in](/source/Peki'in), where a larger Jewish community was already established. At the end of the 1970s, as part of the HaMitzpim program, a temporary camp was erected for workers who were building [moshavim](/source/Moshav) nearby. The remnants of the buildings used in the camp were improved by community members when they moved in on [Yom Ha'atzmaut](/source/Yom_Ha'atzmaut) in May 1994.

## Economy

The economy of Inbar is based on [tourism](/source/Tourism). The community runs an 18-room guesthouse and country lodge.[2]
