Shoshanat HaAmakim (Hebrew: שׁוֹשַׁנַּת הָעֲמָקִים, lit. 'Lily of the Valleys') is a community settlement in central Israel. Located to the north of Netanya, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hefer Valley Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 489.[1]
History
The village was established in 1951 and was built by the Rassco company. Its name is taken from the Song of Songs 2:1;
I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys.[2] (From modern Hebrew, this can also be translated as "lily of Sharon, a rose of the valleys".)
The neighbouring moshav Havatzelet HaSharon ("rose/lily of Sharon") is named after the first part of this verse.
