History
The village was founded in 1953 by immigrants from Iran, Turkey and Kurdistan as part of the Moshavim Movement. The founders chose a name connected to King David. Avital was one of his wifes (2 Samuel 3:4). But tal (eng. dew) reminds also of David's lament in this area: "O mountains of Gilboa, may You have no dew" (2 Samuel 1:21).[2]

gollark: The files COULD still be recoverable, however.
gollark: It's so that if the footer bit is somehow missing, you can seek backward through it.
gollark: Previous header.
gollark: Hmm. Should each file header thing store the *absolute* position of the previous header, or the *relative* one? Is it plausible for the front of files to be truncated somehow?
