In 1929 the
Jewish National Fund bought 30,800 dunums of land from absentee landlords of the Arab village of
Wadi al-Hawarith at an auction. After purchasing the land the JNF began the process of evicting the tenants of the land, a process that was complete by 1933. Kfar Haroeh was established on 23 November that year and named for
Abraham Isaac Kook, the first Ashkenazi chief rabbi of
Mandatory Palestine. "Haroeh" is an acronym for
Ha
Rav
Avraham
HaCohen Kook. The founders were religious
Jews who
immigrated from Europe. A
yeshiva in the moshav was founded by
Rabbi Moshe-Zvi Neria. This was the forerunner of the numerous
Mamlachti dati Torah high schools associated with
Bnei Akiva.
Beit Hazon, initially a neighborhood of Kfar Haroeh, is now regarded as a separate
community settlement.
