Tzippori () is a moshav in northern Israel, in the Lower Galilee. The moshav is within the jurisdiction of the Jezreel Valley Regional Council. The moshav was founded just south of the former depopulated Palestinian village of Saffuriya, which was located on the site of the ancient Jewish city of Sepphoris.
History
The moshav was established in 1949 on land close to the Palestinian village of Saffuriya, that had been depopulated during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.. It was named after the ancient Jewish city of Sepphoris, upon whose site Saffuriya had occupied, and is now an archaeological park.
The moshav was established with the assistance of the Jewish Agency for Israel and the Moshavim Movement.
