Neve Yarak (Hebrew: נְוֵה יָרָק) is a moshav in central Israel. Located near Hod HaSharon, it falls under the jurisdiction of Drom HaSharon Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 1,284.[1]

History

The moshav was formed in 1951 by immigrants from Romania, and was initially called Kfar Yarkanim (Hebrew: כפר ירקנים, lit. 'Greengrocer Village').[2]

It is located partly on land that had belonged to the Palestinian village of al-Muwaylih prior to its depopulation in the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, and partly on land which used to belong to Jaljuliya.[3]

Neve Yarak Winery was founded in 2015. The wine produced here is exclusively from Carignan grapes planted many decades ago,[4] but had not been used to make wine until recently.[5]
