Nahal Hashofet (Judge Stream) is a stream in Israel, named after the American-Jewish judge Julian Mack. The stream flows in the Ramot Menashe area, beginning its journey between the communities of Ramat Hashofet and Ein HaEmek, through Kibbutz HaZorea, and ending when it empties into the Kishon River.

The water sources are local springs.

The stream is covered in vegetation - reed plants, sacred raspberry, hairy elm, hyacinth, large sandalwood, watercress, carob, pointed willow, noble ar, Israeli buckthorn, sticky yarrow, yellow yarrow, asparagus, various herbaceous plants such as anemones and more; pines grow near the stream bed. Nutria and salamanders can be found in the stream, as well as birds.

The stream flows all year round thanks to its springs, Ein HaShofet, Ein Rihaniyeh, Ein Sinai and Ein Parur, which have water flowing throughout the year. Additional springs in the stream bed that feed it are Ein Sasson and Ein Hasherat. The water quality in the stream is high.

A pumphouse stands in Ein Parur, which transfers water from the spring to the Emek Hashalom farm, and adjacent to it is a large archaeological mound, Khirbet a-Faria.

Along the HaShofet Stream and its tributaries are beautiful hiking trails with a nature reserve, observation points, flowering in winter and spring, springs, pools of water for wading, rapids and small waterfalls. In 2024, an accessible circular trail was inaugurated, prepared by the JNF, adapted for strollers and people with disabilities. The information signs along the trail are adapted for people with cognitive disabilities, and the directional signs and separation strips on the trail are adapted for the visually impaired. The stream channel also contains sites such as the remains of an ancient flour mill, of which only the shaft remains, Ramat Hashanim, Emek Hashalom, and walking trails for the disabled maintained by the Latem Association. In addition, the Ramot Menashe Trail runs through the stream.
