Kibbutz Ein Dor was established at its present location facing Mount Tabor in the eastern section of the Lower Galilee in May of 1948. Its members came from groups of the Zionist youth movement Hashomer Hatzair from Israel, Hungary, and the United States. Later they were joined by groups from Chile and Uruguay and much smaller groups and individuals from over 30 different countries. Today the kibbutz boasts about 430 members and candidates for membership, and a permanent population of close to 800- when children, parents of members, and Hebrew ulpan students are taken into account.
The kibbutz's economy today is based primarily on its cable factory, Teldor, which manufactures telecommunication and electronic cables. In agriculture, the kibbutz still cultivates a variety of field crops, has a dairy farm, and raises chickens.
The kibbutz runs both an elementary school and a junior and senior high school TABOR in cooperation with the neighboring Kibbutz Gazit. Both the educational and cultural enterprises on the kibbutz aspire to achieve the kibbutz ideals of justice, equality, and brotherhood.
