November 3, 2025Kfar Ahim is a moshav located in the south-central region of occupied Palestine, near Kiryat Malakhi. It was established in 1949 by Zionist immigrants from Poland and Romania on the land of the depopulated Palestinian village of Qastina.
The moshav was named in memory of two brothers, Tzvi and Ephraim Guber, who were killed during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. They were the sons of Mordechai and Rivka Guber of the nearby moshav Kfar Warburg. Among the prominent Zionist figures associated with Kfar Ahim are politicians Benny Gantz and Yisrael Katz.
As of 2022, the settlement had a population of 861 settlers.
