Jugeals-Nazareth (French pronunciation: [ʒyʒal nazaʁɛt]; Occitan: Jutjal e Nasareth) is a commune in the Corrèze department in central France.
From 1933 to 1935, the village of Jugeals-Nazareth hosted Makhar, the only Jewish kibbutz in France.[3]
Toponymy
Jugeals-Nazareth's "Nazareth" locality is from the time of the Crusades in the Middle Ages.
History
Medieval times
On the return of Raymond I, a Viscount of Turenne, from the holy land after the First Crusade, he created a leper hospital and named it Nazareth which would be administrated by the Knights Templar.[4]
20th century
In 1933, young Jews fleeing the Hitler regime settled there and created a collective farm, a kibbutz called Makhar.[5] They left their farm in 1935.[5][6]
During the German occupation, the commune was home to a maquis camp, the Grandel group, near the hamlet of La Vapaudie.[7] Édouard Valéry was the future departmental head of the Francs-tireurs et partisans (FTP).[7]
Geography
The commune is located in the Brive-la-Gaillarde catchment area. The commune is watered by the Planchetorte stream and the Couze, which have their sources there, and bordered to the south-east by the Tourmente.
Jugeals-Nazareth is the result of the merger of the commune of Jugeals and the locality of Nazareth in 1924. Jugeals was an old parish that became common during the French Revolution. Nazareth remained a locality in the commune of Turenne, although very close to Jugeals. This proximity led its inhabitants to ask for their attachment to Jugeals for greater convenience, the town hall being on the other side of the road and that of Turenne six kilometres away.
