Tlalim (Hebrew: טְלָלִים) is a kibbutz in southern Israel. Located in the Negev desert, it falls under the jurisdiction of Ramat HaNegev Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 610.[1]
Tlalim is the plural form of the Hebrew word for dew, tal. The kibbutz was named for the large amount of dew which falls in the area each year.
Tlalim was founded in 1980 by a gar'in of Hebrew Scouts. It was one of the first kibbutzim to be privatised. In 2021, archaeologists discovered a 2,500 year old burial site near the kibbutz. Many of the buried are women, and the finds hail from many different cultures, including Edom, Moab, Phoenicia and Egypt.[2]
In addition to agriculture, the kibbutz operates a concrete factory.
