Yavne (Hebrew: יַבְנֶה) or Yavneh is a city in the Central District of Israel. In 2022, it had a population of 56,232.[1]
Modern Yavne was established in 1949. It is located near the ruins of the ancient town of Yavne (known also as Jamnia and Jabneh), later the village of Yibna, and today the archeological site of Tel Yavne. Ancient Yavne holds a special place in Jewish history because of the ancient town's contribution to Judaism's recovery and reconstitution under sages ben Zakkai and Gamaliel II following the destruction of the Second Temple. This period, sometimes known as the "Yavne period", became a crucial mark in the development of Rabbinic Judaism.[2][3][4] The city has a history of producing wine throughout much of antiquity, as indicated by both archeological findings and ancient sources.[5]
