Dvir (Hebrew: דְּבִיר), also known as Dvira (Hebrew: דְּבִירָה), is a kibbutz in southern Israel. Located near Rahat and Beersheba, it falls under the jurisdiction of Bnei Shimon Regional Council. In 2017 it had a population of 935.[1]
The kibbutz was established in 1951 by Hashomer Hatzair members from Hungary and took its name from the Biblical city of Dvir (Joshua 21:15) that was located in the area. The original residents were joined by immigrants from South America.
A member of the kibbutz, Yitzhak Mintz, developed the QText word processing program in 1988 which was the first to handle the Hebrew language.[2]
