Yas'ur (Hebrew: יַסְעוּר, lit. petrel) is a kibbutz in northern Israel. Located east of Acre in the Western Galilee, it falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Asher Regional Council. In it had a population of .
The kibbutz was established in 1949 by Jewish immigrants from Hungary who were members of the Zionist Socialist youth movement Hashomer Hatzair; they were joined in 1951 by another group of immigrants from England and in 1956 by another group from Brazil.[1] The parents of Israeli historian Benny Morris were among the founders of the kibbutz, shortly after his birth.[2]
The kibbutz was established on the land of the depopulated Palestinian village of Al-Birwa,[3] and it uses the land of the depopulated villages of Al-Damun[4] and Al-Ruways[5] for agriculture.
Yasur's economy was based on textile and toy factories, which became unprofitable and closed down. In 2003 the kibbutz began a process of renewal and launched a successful membership drive.[6] An Italian restaurant, Liliana's, is located on the grounds of the kibbutz.[7]
