Revaha (, lit. prosperity) is a religious moshav in south-central Israel. Located in the southern Shephelah near Kiryat Gat, it falls under the jurisdiction of Shafir Regional Council. In it had a population of .
==History== Revaha was established in 1953 by Jewish immigrants from Kurdistan on lands which had formerly belonged to the depopulated Palestinian village of Karatiyya. It is located close to Hatta, but not on its village land. The name of the moshav is derived both from the symbolic significance of the name itself and from the quote in Pirkei Avot 1:5: "Let thy house be wide open".
