Here are some photos from our visit to Moshav Nativ Asarav. This is a moshav (or collective farming community) which was actually relocated from its original location in the Sinai Peninsula (which was returned to Egypt in the Camp David Accords) to its current location about a kilometer from the north end of the Gaza Strip. The residents were able to build beautiful homes here, and have become world leaders in high-technology agriculture techniques and products..
