Ramot Meir
human settlement in Israel
Ramot Meir (Hebrew: רָמוֹת מֵאִיר, lit. Meir Heights) is a moshav ovdim in central Israel. Located in the Shephelah around four kilometres south of Rehovot, it falls under the jurisdiction of Gezer Regional Council. In 2024 it had a population of 674. Near the entrance of the Moshav there is a small nature reserve with natural wild tulips.
History
The moshav was founded in 1949 by demobilised soldiers, and was named after the American philanthropist and dentist Meyer Rosoff. Rosoff had bought the land around the Palestinian village of al-Na'ani in the 1930s for his company, Rosoff Group Plantations. After the 1948 war, it expanded on more of the nearby land.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Ramot Meir” is human settlement in Israel. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Ramot, Meir and human, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “human settlement in Israel” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2889697. Authority coordinates are 31.874, 34.855. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2024, 1949 and 1948.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
