Kfar Vradim was established in September 1984. Its founder, Stef Wertheimer, sought to create an industrial town with in the midst of nature. Kfar Vradim started as a town with 50-100 families, and at first had no electricity and running water. The first families to move were mostly workers at ISCAR Metalworking, a successful factory owned by Stef Wertheimer specialising in metal blades and high performance cutting tools. Initially, Kfar Vradim received no support or recognition from the Israeli government, which didn't consider it to be a valid town, resulting in a financial crisis. Eventually, it was recognised and began receiving support. Recently, the government spoke of creating a unified municipality of Ma'alot and Kfar Vradim. |
