Ravid is adjacent to an archaeological site which has been identified as Kfar Mimlah, home to theHezir priestly family, which was exiled from Judea after the Bar Kokhba revolt.[1]
Ravid was established in 1981 by members of the Takam movement as part of the Galilee lookouts programme, including 10 families who had moved from cities.[2] The site was land that had belonged to the depopulated Palestinian village of al-Mansura until the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, southeast of the village site.[3]
However, after a social crisis, the kibbutz was dismantled.[2] [4] It was successfully re-established in 1994 by former members of HaNoar HaOved VeHaLomed, and is now part of the Dror-Israel movement.[2]
