Talmei Elazar (Hebrew: תַּלְמֵי אֶלְעָזָר, lit. Elazar Furrows) is a moshav in northern Israel. Located in the eastern Sharon plain to the north-east of Hadera, it falls under the jurisdiction of Menashe Regional Council. In 2017 it had a population of 862.[1]
History
The village was established in 1952 by residents of Zikhron Ya'akov and Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe and Iran on the land of depopulated Palestinian village of Khirbat al-Sarkas,[2] and was named after Elazar Warmassar, one of the heads of the PJCA.[3]
One of the residents runs a health and beauty span that offers snake massages. She uses California and Florida king snakes, corn snakes and milk snakes, claiming that contact with these reptiles is stress-relieving.[4]
Located on the outskirts of the moshav is a carnivorous plant nursery where various species of plants are grown, among them the Nepenthes, which can capture frogs and even birds.[5]
