'''Sha'alvim''' () is a religious kibbutz in central Israel and one of only two affiliated with Poalei Agudat Yisrael (Hafetz Haim being the other). Located near the city of Modi'in-Maccabim-Re'ut, it falls under the jurisdiction of Gezer Regional Council. In it had a population of .
==History== Sha'alvim is named after the ancient village of the same name that was located in the area and is mentioned in the Bible, in the Books of Joshua, Judges, and Kings. Later, archaeological evidence appears in the form of a letter written four years after the end of the Bar Kokhba revolt (140 CE) by a Jewish woman named Miriam barat Yaakov, which states that she was from the same settlement, which was then named Sha'alab (סעלב). Subsequently, Samaritans settled in the region and established a synagogue.
