History
Kfar Sirkin was founded in 1933 and was named for the Zionist leader Nachman Syrkin. It served as a Jewish stronghold in the 1936–1939 Arab revolt in Palestine, with the Haganah using the village to fight off attacking Arab forces and to store weapons which were illegal under the British Mandate rule of the time.
Today, the village is agricultural. An Israel Defense Forces military base is located to the north-west of the village.

gollark: - it always inserted to position 0 in the queue, which somehow didn't break anything badly enough for me to notice- the thing which was meant to load old reminders into the queue only loaded past ones, causing unpredictable, weird behaviour
gollark: Okay, I have so, so many problems with this code.
gollark: Why are there still only two reminders queued? That is *not* right.
gollark: Frankly. I don't know how this code ever functioned.
gollark: Well, it seems like I always insert into the queue at position 0.
