When Leon Blum, the Jewish leader of the Socialist Movement in France and twice the prime minister of his country, was interned in a German camp during World War Two, some people in Palestine decided to encourage him by naming a new kibbutz in his honor.
Kefar Blum was thus founded in November 1943 by mostly immigrants from English-speaking countries in the eastern part of Upper Galilee. It is famous for its nature house exhibiting plant and animal life in the Hula Valley.
