==History== It was established in 1946 by Jewish soldiers demobilised from the British Army after World War II having served under Frederick Kisch, after whom the village was named.<ref>[http://www.izkor.gov.il/HalalKorot.aspx?id=506391 Frederick Kisch] Izkor {{in lang|he}}</ref> However political fractures led many of the founders to leave within the first year. A water shortage which forced the residents to transport water from the Tabor stream without proper equipment added to the problems, and until 1953 a steady stream of founding residents left the village. In that year conditions improved and Kfar Kisch began to absorb Jewish immigrants from Poland, Hungary, and the Soviet Union.{{Citation needed|date=January 2011}} Part of the village's land formerly belonged to the depopulated Palestinian village of Ma'dhar, south of the old village site.<ref>{{cite book|title=All That Remains: The Palestinian Villages Occupied and Depopulated by Israel in 1948|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_By7AAAAIAAJ|first1=Walid|last1=Khalidi|authorlink=Walid Khalidi|year=1992|location=Washington D.C.|publisher=Institute for Palestine Studies|isbn=0-88728-224-5|page=529}}</ref> <gallery> File:כפר קיש - ביום העליה לכפר קיש, מושב שתופי לחיילים משוחררים. הערבים מהסביבה הקרובה באים להשתתף בשמחת -JNF027958.jpeg|Kfar Kisch founding ceremony 18 July 1946 File:כפר קיש - ביום העליה לכפר קיש, מושב שתופי לחיילים משוחררים. באופק הר תבור.-JNF027962.jpeg|Kfar Kisch File:כפר קיש - ביום העליה לכפר קיש, מושב שתופי לחיילים משוחררים. הקמת הצריפים הראשונים.-JNF027954.jpeg|Kfar Kisch first barracks File:כפר קיש - ביום העליה על אדמת כפר קיש, מושב שיתופי לחיילים משוחררים-JNF034037.jpeg|Kfar Kisch File:כפר קיש - מראה כללי, באופק הר תבור-JNF034039.jpeg|Kfar Kisch </gallery>
