Nir Akiva

Nir Akiva (Hebrew: נִיר עֲקִיבָא‎‎, lit. Akiva's Meadow) is a moshav in southern Israel. Located in the north-western Negev near Netivot and Nir Moshe and covering 1,000 dunams, it falls under the jurisdiction of Merhavim Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 273.

The moshav was established in 1953 on land that had belonged to the village of Kawfakha[1]. It was named after Akiva Etinger, a chief of the Settlement Department in the Jewish Agency. In the late 1970s Amir Peretz was a member of the moshav.
