- EISENBERG, AHARON ELIYAHU (1863–1931), pioneer of Jewish
settlement in Ereẓ Israel. Eisenberg, born in Pinsk, Russia, settled in
Ereẓ Israel in 1886. He worked as a laborer in rishon le-zion ,
later settling in Wadi Hanin (now Nes Ẓiyyonah), where he became one of
the outstanding vineyard cultivators in the country. Eisenberg was one
of those who acquired the land of Reḥovot from its previous
owners (1890). He was entrusted with the task of cultivating the lands
of members of the Menuḥah ve-Naḥalah Association (the group of Warsaw
Zionists who established Reḥovot) living abroad. He joined the
benei moshe association in 1893. In 1904 he established Agudat
Neta'im, an association for planting and cultivating vineyards and
orange groves on behalf of foreign investors. Eisenberg was instrumental
in establishing small holdings for Jewish workers. He also helped settle
Yemenite immigrants in Reḥovot. In 1920 he was chosen a delegate to the
first Asefat ha-Nivḥarim and to the Palestine Advisory Council
established by Sir Herbert samuel in the same year. Eisenberg was
a leading member of the Va'ad Leummi and participated in various
delegations to Paris and London.
