Havatzelet, Havatzelet HaSharon, Havatzelet Interchange, Havatzelet HaHof .
What is the origin of the name and what does it mean?
The word "Lily" is used about 250 times by various Biblical commentators when they want to describe a good smell, special beauty, blossoms on water, glory, splendor, and various unique qualities.
Lily, is the name of a beautiful fragrant flower that grows in the Sharon region.
Havatzelet HaSharon, (Lily of the Sharon) is the name of a locality associated with the Emek Hefer Regional Council and is close to the coastal city, Netanya.
It is written: I am the Lily of the Sharon, the rose of the valley (Song of Songs, chapter 2, verse 1)
About 90 years ago, Jews from Canada donated money to buy land in the Land of Israel. The organizer was Aaron Freiman and his wife's name was Lily.
Therefore, the settlement was established on land purchased in the coastal area and was called 'Havatzelet Hasharon'. (Lily of the Sharon)
A special description of the uniqueness of the Lily can be found in the Midrash Lekach Tov on Shir HaShirim, Song of Songs B: A: B
I am Havatzelet HaSharon. Just as the Lily of the Valley grows only on the water, so the Jewish people grow only through Torah and through the teachings of the sages.
A large multilevel interchange near the settlement, which was paved as the country developed and grew, is called: Havatzelet Interchange.
The first settlers came to the land in 1935, and today it is a large locality where Lilies usually grow and bloom.
And we pray that by reciting passages from the Book of Tehillim (Psalms), the Lily of the Valley will arise to sing in a pleasant voice.
