Binyamina-Giv'at Ada (Hebrew: בנימינה-גבעת עדה) is a town in the Haifa District in northern Israel. It is the result of the 2003 merger between the two local councils of Binyamina and Giv'at Ada. In 2022, its joint population was 15,634.[3] Before the merger, the population of Binyamina was 6,607. It was created after depopulation of the Palestinian village al-Sindiyana.

History

Binyamina

Binyamina was founded in 1922. At first, the proposed name for the Moshava was "Tel Binyamin", but as the nearby British railway station was called Binyamina railway station, which itself was named after the Baron Edmond Benjamin James de Rothschild, the inhabitants chose to call it Binyamina.[4] Binyamina was founded on PICA land by members of the Third Aliyah and people from the neighboring Zikhron Ya'akov. According to a census conducted in 1922 by the British Mandate authorities, Binyamina had a population of 153 inhabitants, consisting of 137 Jews, 13 Muslims and 7 Christians.[5] In 1946 the BetarTower and Stockade settlement (which was relocated multiple times) "Nahalat Jabotinsky", named after Ze'ev Jabotinsky became a part of the Binyamina municipality.[6][7][8] The original economy of the village was citrus-based and a jasmine refining factory for the French perfume industry.[9] In 1947, Binyamina had a population of 2000.[10]

Giv'at Ada

Giv'at Ada, 'Ada Heights', named for Baron Edmond James de Rothschild's wife Adelheid/Adélaïde (Ada), was established in 1903 by eight families from Zikhron Ya'akov.[11] Giv'at Ada was established as an agricultural Moshava. The main farming branches were field crops and vegetables, and later grapes.[11]

Merger

The two local councils, Binyamina and Givat Ada, were merged into one authority as part of an initiative by the Ministry of the Interior regarding the unification of local authorities in Israel. The unification was carried out in 2003 as part of the plan for the revival of the Israeli economy. From the beginning, there was an intention to unite the three settlements into one authority: Zichron Ya'akov, Binyamina, and Givat Ada.[12] Finally it was decided in the Knesset on July 31, 2003, to unify Binyamina and Givat Ada only.[13]

On 13 October 2024, a Hezbollah drone attacked a military base of the Golani Brigade near the town, killing 4 IDF personnel and injuring 67 people, with several critically wounded.[14]

Archaeology

In June 2026, archaeologists engaged in a salvage dig on the outskirts of Binyamina discovered two intact 1,700-year old marble busts depicting Roman figures, one of them possibly Lycurgus.[15]

Economy

The area is home to both the Binyamina Winery, producers of 2.8 million bottles of wine annually, and the Tishbi Winery, founded by Yonathan Tishbi in 1985. As of 2009, Tishbi produced approximately one million bottles per year.[16][17] Plans have been drawn up to build a 150-acre (0.61 km2) wine park on the slopes between Binyamina and Zichron Ya'akov to promote wine tourism in Israel.[18]

Shuni

The Jabotinsky Park at Shuni contains a Roman theatre with an adjacent semicircular pool used during the Graeco-Syrian paganMaiumas water festival of Roman Syria,[19] and buildings of the former Arab Palestinian hamlet of Khirbat al-Shuna.

The ancient village of Kefar Shumi or Shami stood close to the springs at the foot of the Carmel ridge whose waters were sent to Caesarea Maritima by aqueduct.[20] In 1902, it was known in Arabic as Shuni and Mayumas.[20]

Transport

La estación de tren de Binyamina, perteneciente a los Ferrocarriles de Israel, es la última parada de la línea suburbana Binyamina-Tel Aviv y un punto de transbordo en la línea interurbana Tel Aviv-Haifa, lo que la convierte en un importante nudo de transporte para la zona. Un tren directo sin paradas desde Binyamina llega a Tel Aviv o Haifa en 30 minutos.

Población
