Azrikam (Hebrew: עַזְרִיקָם) is a moshav in southern Israel. Located near Ashdod, it falls under the jurisdiction of Be'er Tuvia Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 1,538.[1]
Etymology
The village is named after "Azrikam, a descendant of Zerubbabel."[2] (1 Chronicles 3:23)
History
The moshav was established in 1950 on the lands of the depopulated Palestinian village of Bayt Daras, just south of the depopulated Palestinian village of al-Batani al-Gharbi[3] by Jewish refugees from Tunisia.[4] It was initially named Bitanya.[5] In the first few years, the moshav's residents lived in tents without electricity, water or gas.
