Talmei Yosef (Hebrew: תַּלְמֵי יוֹסֵף, lit. 'Yosef Furrows') is a moshav in southern Israel. Located in the Hevel Shalom area of the north-western Negev desert near the Gaza Strip border, it falls under the jurisdiction of Eshkol Regional Council. In 2021 it had a population of 339.[1]

History

The moshav was established in 1982 by former residents of Talmei Yosef, an Israeli settlement in Sinai. The original settlement's residents were evacuated as a result of the Camp David Accords, and re-settled in Israel, naming their new settlement after their previous one (after Yosef Weitz, a former director of the Land and Afforestation Department of the Jewish National Fund).[2]

In May 2015 Jewish National Fund Belgium established a green landscaping project around the local synagogue in memory of Yilona Nejszaten, one of the "hidden children" of the Holocaust.[3]

In 2005 a moshav resident opened an educational farm called the "Salad Trail."[4] Visitors see how Israel's agricultural technologies allow over 80 different crops, primarily fruits and vegetables, to grow in the desert soil – without pesticides.[5][6]
