Welcome to Tal-El

Tal-El is located at the edge of the northwestern border of the Misgav Regional Council, which services the village.
Tal-El - "Dew of G-d" in English - derives its name from the heritage of its location in the western Galil near Yitzhar Wadi, 150 meters above sea level. The entire area is peppered with olive orchards, an ancient agricultural institution and symbol of abundance and joy. The Tanach sets Tal-El within the borders of the ancient Israelite tribe of Asher, described as plentiful of wealth, fruitful fields, and rich agricultural produce. The name itself is taken from Moshe's blessing of the tribe of Asher in Devarim 33:24-28. Tal is dew - the abundant gift of the sky, and El is G-d. The combination of these two words connotes the blessing of G-d with regard to abundance and happiness. With this in mind, the founders of Tal-El chose its name in the hopes that their new home would grow as a source of pride for its community, a model for settlement in the Galil, and a symbol of Zionism come to life.
