Red-breasted Bird Art Shelter ~ Or Haner Junction ~ Blackman Family

The Sponsor: Blackman Family

Kibbutz Or Haner is located in the south of Israel near the city of Sderot. The meaning of the name Or Haner is Candlelight. Many of its founders came from Argentina. In general, Kibbutz Or Haner is a picturesque kibbutz and not just because of the landscape. The kibbutz is adorned with unique murals that have become an artistic and tourist attraction called the “Mural Path”. The paintings, which were drawn on the walls of main buildings and the “Avenue of the Seven Species” that glorifies the road leading to the kibbutz, were made by two artists from the city of Corrientes in Argentina who arrived in 2007 and 2008 at the invitation of the kibbutz members.

The kibbutz economy is based on agricultural industries and the Ornit factory that produces rivets for industry. The spot on the road where this art shelter is situated: the junction from the main artery for this region, leading up to the kibbutz, is less that 2 kms from the border with the Gaza Strip.
