Beit Keshet

Beit Keshet (Hebrew: בֵּית קֶשֶׁת, lit. House of the Bow) is a kibbutz in the Lower Galilee, Israel.

Founded in 1944, Beit Keshet was established by HaNoar HaOved graduates who were trained at the Kfar Tabor Agricultural School. During the founding of the kibbutz, a group of immigrants who were a part of the Youth movement HaMahanot HaOlim and graduates of the Kadoorie Agricultural High School joined the kibbutz. According to the Jewish National Fund, more than half of the original group had served with the Jewish forces during the Second World War.

In 1947, Bet Keshet had a population of over 100. During the 1948 Arab-Israeli war Lebanese and Syrian troops attempted to capture Bet Keshet and nearby Sejera in fighting the Jewish National Fund refers to as "fierce."

The name is derived from 2 Samuel 1:18 in the Bible: "...teach the children of Judah the use of the bow," a reference to the battles of Deborah, who is said to have lived in the area.

Beit Keshet is under the jurisdiction of Lower Galilee Regional Council.
