Kfar Malal

Kfar Malal (Hebrew: כְּפַר מַלָּ"ל‎) is an agricultural moshav in the Sharon region in central Israel. Originally established as Ein Hai (lit. Fountain of the Living) in 1916, it was later named after Rabbi Moshe Leib Lilienblum (משה לייב לילינבלום), whose acronym in Hebrew is MLL (מל"ל). Rabbi Lilienblum (1843–1910) was an early leader in the Hovevei Zion movement. Former Prime Minister of Israel, Ariel Sharon, was born in Kfar Malal. The moshav receives its municipal services from the Drom HaSharon Regional Council. In 2006, Malal Park Industries Ltd, co-owned by members of Kfar Malal, signed an agreement with the German bank Eurohypo AG to refinance Park Azorim in Kiryat Aryeh, Petah Tikva.
