History
The village was established in 1948 by immigrants from Greece, Poland and Turkey on the Burma Road on agricultural lands that had belonged to the depopulated Palestinian Arab village of Khirbat Bayt Far, in order to prevent Jerusalem being separated from the rest of Israel.[2][3][4] It was named after Henry Morgenthau, Jr. (Morgentau is German for Morning Dew).
