History

The moshav was founded in 1949 by immigrants to Israel from Turkey on the site of the depopulated Palestinian village of al-Ras al-Ahmar.[2] Rabbi Meir Yehuda Getz (1924–1995), a kabbalist and the first rabbi of the Western Wall in Jerusalem, was among the founders of the moshav,[3] which was named after Rabbi David Ben Zimra, who was buried with his father Yosef nearby.

New immigrants from Romania and Morocco later joined the moshav.

The moshav is the home of the Rimon Winery.[4]

Kerem Ben Zimra nature reserve

In 1968 a 68-dunam nature reserve was declared[5] on the land south of the moshav. Flora includes Mt. Atlas mastic trees (terebinth), Valonia oaks, Palestine Oaks, Buckthorns, and Styrax officinalis. [6]

gollark: Look, it says there, > By design, the POST request method requests that a web server accepts the data enclosed in the body of the request message, most likely for storing it.
gollark: The urlencoded MIME type/format doesn't mean it's sent in the URL, just that it uses similar encoding to query strings.
gollark: POST data isn't in the URL though, it's sent as the body.
gollark: The reason they *do* is probably just consistency with other methods (it would be very annoying if they worked very differently to GET routing-wise) and so requests can be routed to the right handler more easily.
