Ma'ale Tzviya (Hebrew: מַעֲלֵה צְבִיָּה, lit. Zvia Heights), also Tzviya, is a community settlement in northern Israel. Located in the Galilee to the south-east of Karmiel, it falls under the jurisdiction of Misgav Regional Council. In 2017 it had a population of 322.[1]
History
The village was established in 1979 as a kibbutz, and was named after Zivia Lubetkin, one of the leaders of the Jewish underground in Nazi-occupied Warsaw. The kibbutz was closed in 1986 and the site taken over by members of the "Atid" (lit. Future) gar'in, who founded a community settlement with the assistance of the Jewish Agency.
The founders defined the settlement as "a Jewish Israeli settlement according to the way of Emin".
