Ein Ganim (Hebrew: עין גנים, lit. "Spring of Gardens" or "Eye of Gardens") is a place name of Hebrew origin, primarily referring to a biblical city and a modern Israeli moshav.
1. Biblical City: Ein Ganim is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible as one of the cities allotted to the tribe of Issachar and designated as a Levitical city. It appears in Joshua 19:21 and Joshua 21:29. Its exact location in ancient times is debated among scholars, but it was situated within the tribal territory of Issachar, which lay in the northern part of ancient Israel. It is often identified with the modern Arab village of Jenin, located in the northern West Bank, due to linguistic similarities (Jenin is thought to derive from Ganim) and geographical plausibility.
2. Modern Israeli Moshav: Ein Ganim is also the name of a moshav (cooperative agricultural community) in central Israel. It was founded in 1908 as the first neighborhood of Petah Tikva that was designed as a garden suburb. Initially an independent settlement, it has since been absorbed as a neighborhood within the city of Petah Tikva. The moshav was established by pioneers from the Second Aliyah, who aimed to combine agricultural work with a modern way of life. Its name reflects the agricultural aspirations and the landscape of gardens that characterized its early development.
