History

In 2001 a gar'in group from Bnei HaMoshavim (associated with HaNoar HaOved VeHaLomed and the Moshavim Movement) began to develop in preparation for founding a new moshav. The gar'in group was established in 2002, and began organising themselves in Kmehin, before establishing Be'er Milka in 2006.[3] The moshav is named after biblical Milka, the sister-in-law of Abraham (Genesis 22:20-23) and grandmother of Rebekah, the wife of Isaac (Genesis 24:47).
