History

The moshav was founded in 1947 by demobilised soldiers from the British and Czechoslovak Army. Its name is taken from the Book of Isaiah, 2:4;

And He shall judge between the nations, and shall decide for many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.[2]
