Pe'at Sade
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pe'at Sadeh (Hebrew: פאת שדה) was an Israeli settlement, originally established in 1989 by a group of families on the 'Slav' IDF base in the southern end of Gush Katif and moved to its permanent site on an adjacent hill in 1993. It was one of the few 'mixed' settlements in the predominantly Orthodox Gush Katif settlement bloc.
It's name is a reference to Pe'a (Hebrew: פאה), a form of Jewish charity in which the corner of a field, vineyard or orchard is left unharvested for the poor to come and take what they need. Sadeh is Hebrew for field.
On the day of its destruction, the population numbered about 20 families including at least 117 people of which over 70 were children.
