Meitav (Hebrew: מֵיטָב, lit. Utmost, best) is a moshav in north-eastern Israel. Located in the Ta'anakh region, it falls under the jurisdiction of Gilboa Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 456.[1]
The moshav was established in 1954 by immigrants from Kurdistan and Iraq on the land of the depopulated Palestinian village of Al-Mazar.[2] The third settlement to be founded in the Ta'anakh, it was initially named Ta'anakh Gimel (lit. Ta'anakh 3). The name derives from Bereshit/Genesis 47,11: "Joseph ... gave them property in the best part of the land."[3][4]
