Moshava
A moshava (Hebrew: מושבה, plural: moshavot מושבות, lit. colony [not in the context of Colonialism] or village) was a form of agricultural Jewish settlement in the Land of Israel region (now Israel), established by the members of the Old Yishuv beginning in the late 1870s and during the first two waves of Jewish Zionist immigration – the First and Second Aliyah.
