Etymology
Its name is symbolic, though there is a theory that it was named after Azariah of Judah. The symbolic meaning is an acronym from the Hebrew religious sentence 'עולי זאכו ראו ישועת ה (Oleh zakho ra'u yeshuat HaShem, lit. "Immigrants of Zakho (village in Kurdistan) saw the salvation of the Lord").[2]
History
The moshav was established on the land of the depopulated Palestinian village of Al-Barriyya on 30 October 1949 by 25 families from Jerusalem as part of the "From the city to the village" plan.[3][4]
gollark: Basically, what this does is iterate over all peripheral names, check if they're the type you want, and add them to the table if they are.
gollark: *Why* do you want that, exactly?
gollark: ```lualocal monitor_names = {}for _, n in pairs(peripheral.getNames()) do if peripheral.getType(n) == "monitor" then table.insert(monitor_names, n) endend```
gollark: If you want the *names* for whatever reason, that is somewhat harder.
gollark: It has multiple returns, so do `{peripheral.find "monitor"}` if you want a table of all monitors.
