Kibbutz Ma'agan Michael is a Kibbutz located between the southern Carmel mountain and the Mediterranean Sea at the foothills of the town Zichron Ya'akov.

When we began to settle the present site of the kibbutz on August 25, 1949 we numbered 154 members and 44 children. The original site was a windswept treeless sandstone hill located on the coastal plain.

We have since grown and prospered into the largest kibbutz in Israel with a current population of 1,412 consisting of 791 members and candidates for membership, 383 children, and there are also non-member residents, soldiers, and ulpanists. [More...]

The Kibbutz was founded in 1949 and over 1500 people reside in the community today. The founding members of the Kibbutz were part of the Israel scout movement and through the years, the Kibbutz has grown substantially with new members joining our community from around the world. Kibbutz Ma'agan Michael's success has been attributed to continuous commercial development and having a high percentage of our children, that have decided to remain and become members of the Kibbutz.
