Yas'ur (Hebrew: יַסְעוּר, lit. petrel) is a kibbutz in northern Israel. Located east of Acre in the Western Galilee, it falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Asher Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 923.[1]
History[edit]
The kibbutz was established in 1949 by Jewish immigrants from Hungary who were members of the Zionist Socialist youth movement Hashomer Hatzair; they were joined in 1951 by another group of immigrants from England and in 1956 by another group from Brazil.[2] The parents of Israeli historian Benny Morris were among the founders of the kibbutz, shortly after his birth.[3]
The kibbutz was established on the land of the depopulated Palestinian village of Al-Birwa,[4] and it uses the land of the depopulated villages of Al-Damun[5] and Al-Ruways[6] for agriculture.
Yasur's economy was based on textile and toy factories, which became unprofitable and closed down. In 2003 the kibbutz began a process of renewal and launched a successful membership drive.[7] An Italian restaurant, Liliana's, is located on the grounds of the kibbutz.[8]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
