Tuval (Hebrew: תּוּבַל) is a kibbutz in northern Israel. Located in the Galilee near Karmiel, it falls under the jurisdiction of Misgav Regional Council. In 2023 it had a population of 405.[1]
The village was founded in 1980 by Scouts and Habonim Dror members from England and South Africa and was named after the biblical Tuval, a descendant of Cain (Genesis 4:22).[2]
In 2000 a community neighborhood was set up within the boundaries of Tuval. Today Tuval is both a kibbutz and a community settlement.
