Aminadav is a moshav in central Israel. Located southwest of Jerusalem near Yad Kennedy, it falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Yehuda Regional Council. In 2007 it had a population of 641. The name "Aminadav" is a combination of two Hebrew words; "Ami"- my nation, and "Nadav"- generous, giving, or volunteering; thus Aminadav translates "a generous people" and its origin is from the Hebrew Bible book of Exodus; "Nachshon ben Aminadav" was the first man to enter the "Red Sea" as the Jews left slavery in Egypt. The village was established in 1950 by immigrants from Yemen. Between 1952 and 1953 it absorbed more immigrants from North Africa as well as some native Israelis.
