HaHotrim (Hebrew: הַחוֹתְרִים, lit. 'The Rowers') is a kibbutz in northern Israel. Located near Tirat Carmel, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hof HaCarmel Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 903.
History
The beginnings of the kibbutz were in December 1941, with the formation of a work company near Kiryat Haim by Jewish refugees from Czechoslovakia and Germany. The meaning of the name HaHotrim (The Rowers) is symbolising the wishes of the founders to engage in fishing. The kibbutz was established in 1952 on the land of a depopulated Palestinian village named al-Tira. In 1999, Mount Carmel Naval Base was relocated to here.
