Mazor (Hebrew: מָזוֹר|lit=Cure) is a moshav in the Central District of Israel. Located in the southeastern corner of the Sharon Plain, around three kilometres south-east of Petah Tikva and covering 2,300 dunams, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hevel Modi'in Regional Council. In it had a population of .
The moshav was established in 1949 by Jewish immigrants from Czechoslovakia and Hungary and by native-born Israelis. It was initially named Mizra Har (Hebrew: מזרע הר, lit. Sown Field on a Mountain), a name derived from the name of the nearby depopulated Arab village of Umm-Zara, more commonly known as al-Muzayri'a. The moshav was later renamed Mazor, Hebrew for Remedy, in honor of the medicinal herb factory established there[1] by the herbalist Mordechai Klein.[2] Mazor's early days are depicted in a work of historical fiction, Kfar BaSfar ("A Village on the Border") by Gershon Erich Steiner, one of Mazor's founders.[3]
Mazor was founded on land belonging both to the depopulated Palestinian village of Rantiya,[4] and the western land belonging to al-Muzayri'a.[5]
To the east of the moshav is an archaeological site, which includes a 3rd Century Roman mausoleum. The mausoleum is the only Roman era building in Israel to still stand from its foundations to its roof. A Byzantine-era mosaic floor was found not far from the mausoleum.
