It is located in the Lower Galilee near Bethlehem of Galilee and Alonim, in the hills east of Kiryat Tivon. [http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/pages/ShArt.jhtml?itemNo=789914&contrassID=2&subContrassID=20] Alonei Abba falls under the jurisdiction of Jezreel Valley Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 387.

History

Alonei Abba was established on the site of the German Templer colony of Waldheim, founded in 1907. The residents, who were German citizens, were expelled by the British during World War II in the wake of their support of the Nazis.

On May 12, 1948, a group of young Zionist pioneers from Czechoslavakia, Austria and Rumania, members of Hanoar Hatzioni, established Kibbutz HaMa'avak (lit. "The Struggle") in the abandoned colony, after four years of agricultural training in Herzliya. Three years later, the kibbutz became a moshav shitufi and the name was changed to "Alonei Abba" in memory of Abba Berdichev, who was parachuted into Czechoslovakia in 1943 to assist clandestine British forces, but was captured and executed in 1945.
