Merhavia (Hebrew: מֶרְחַבְיָה, lit. 'Spacious place of Yah') is a kibbutz in northern Israel. Located to the east of Afula, it falls under the jurisdiction of Jezreel Valley Regional Council. In 2023 it had a population of 1,370. In the figurative sense, the phrase connotes 'freedom from distress and anxiety', which resonated with the experience of Jews immigrating to the Land of Israel and achieving a new homeland without the straits, or distress, of persecution. The Merhavia Grand Courtyard is today a tourist attraction, its well-preserved original buildings bearing explanatory signs, and housing – among other things – a cafe and a souvenir shop offering hand-made soap and workshops in vintage-style interiors.
