ḤERUT (Heb. חֵרוּת; also known as Bet Ḥerut ), moshav in central Israel, in the southern Sharon near Tel Mond, affiliated with Tenu'at ha-Moshavim, founded in 1930 by experienced agricultural workers. After 1948, the moshav was enlarged and joined by new settlers from Romania. Its economy was based mainly on citrus groves, dairy farming, poultry, flowers for export, and vegetables. In 1968 it had 372 inhabitants, in the mid-1990s the population was approximately 480, and in 2002 it jumped to 616 as a result of new expansion. The moshav's name means "Freedom."
