Hararit (Hebrew: הֲרָרִית; lit. "mountainous")[1] is a community settlement in the Galilee, Israel. In it had a population of .
Hararit is located on the crest of Mount Netofa in the Lower Galilee. It was established in 1980 as part of a government-sponsored project initiated by Labor party member Nissim Zvili.[2] It was part of a plan to bring more Jewish residents to the Galilee area.[2] Initially it was supposed to be settled by a group of Rafael employees, but they rejected it, as it was too far from their workplace, and eventually it was settled by Shahaf ("Seagull"), a group of people dedicated to the principles of Transcendental Meditation (TM).[3] [4] By the year 2000 the TM group was reported to be only half of its original population.[5] In 2008, there were 95 families living in Hararit.[6]
Archaeologists have discovered three large ancient water cisterns and the remains of agricultural terraces in the vicinity of Hararit.[7]
The economy is largely based on hitec, alternative medicine, tourism, with some of the residents operating bed and breakfast establishments.[5]
