Tzippori (Hebrew: ציפורי) is a moshav in northern Israel, in the Lower Galilee. The moshav is within the jurisdiction of the Jezreel Valley Regional Council. The moshav was founded 3 km southeast of the ancient settlement of Sepphoris, after which it was named.
History
The moshav was established in 1949 on the land once part of the ancient roman city of Sepphoris, turned Arab town of Saffuriya[2][3] (partially depopulated during the 1948 independence war).
The moshav was established with the assistance of the Jewish Agency for Israel and the Moshavim Movement.[citation needed]
In the early 2000s an additional neighborhood was added.[citation needed]
