Kfar Pines (Hebrew: כְּפַר פִּינֶס, lit.'Pines Village') is a religious moshav in northern Israel. Located to the north-east of Hadera, adjacent to Pardes Hanna-Karkur and Ein Iron, it falls under the jurisdiction of Menashe Regional Council. In 2021 it had a population of 1,106.[1]

History

The village was established in 1933 by Jewish immigrants from eastern Europe, and was named after the author Rabbi Yehiel Michel Pines. It hosts an ulpena, a religious girls high school, named "Ramat Karniel" (Karniel's height). It is the first ulpena in Israel and therefore it is called "Em HaUlpenot" (mother of all ulpenas).
