Several attempts to establish a settlement under the name Shefa Bet on that location were made since the early 1950's by Jewish immigrants from Morocco . However these attempts failed until in 1958 a group of Holocaust survivors decided to establish a moshav built on vegetarian ideology. As the moshav would not agree to support itself by becoming a part of the meat industry like most other Israeli villages it was decided to establish guest houses for tourists; this idea proved to be successful and today Amirim is one of the main tourist attractions in Galilee . Today there are over 100 families in Amirim. SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS |
