A moshav located about 2 km. from Re’em junction (Masmiye) on route 383 in the direction of Kefar Menahem.
It is named after Rabbi Yitzhak Fasi (Alfasi) from the town of Fez in Morocco, who was one of the great Jewish leaders and law adjudicators of the Middle Ages.
Kefar Harif was founded in 1956. It was originally built for immigrants from North Africa who helped to build the houses there. Initially, the moshav included 65 farmsteads adjacent to each house. The immigrants who settled there were financially well off and they paid for their farmsteads. Most went there because they were offered designed homes of 48 sq.m. (which, at the time, was considered spacious) and some wanted to live in their own house.
When immigration from North Africa ended, immigrants started arriving from eastern Europe and some of the farmsteads were sold to new immigrants who had just arrived in Israel.
The moshav began to develop and the immigrants became farmers and made their living from agriculture. However most of the immigrants from North Africa, who felt they were not suited to agricultural work, sold their farmsteads and left the moshav for the city.
Today the moshav is being expanded. 85 out of 100 plots in the new neighborhood to the east of the original community have been sold, mostly to the children of the inhabitants of the moshav.
Today, the moshav has 760 residents.
Most of the inhabitants work outside the moshav.
61 members of the moshav got together to establish the Ram Association which cultivates the land together – 100% cultivation.
They primarily produce field crops: sunflowers, chick peas, wheat and watermelons.
