Etymology

The moshav overlooks the Biblical valley of Ayalon (Joshua 10:12), after which it is named.[2]

History

The moshav was founded in 1949 by a gar'in of Jewish Holocaust survivors from Czechoslovakia. The Lehi forest is located in the moshav, probably because three Lehi veterans (Shimshoni, Vered and Even-Tseva) settled in the moshav in its early days.

Mishear Ayalon is located on the land of the depopulated Palestinian Arab village of Al-Qubab.[3]

Its main industry is agriculture, particularly focusing on fruit, vegetables and dairy farming known for their high quality cheese.

gollark: This module contains functions that can read and write Python values in a binary format. The format is specific to Python, but independent of machine architecture issues (e.g., you can write a Python value to a file on a PC, transport the file to a Sun, and read it back there). Details of the format are undocumented on purpose; it may change between Python versions (although it rarely does). [1]This is not a general “persistence” module. For general persistence and transfer of Python objects through RPC calls, see the modules pickle and shelve. The marshal module exists mainly to support reading and writing the “pseudo-compiled” code for Python modules of .pyc files. Therefore, the Python maintainers reserve the right to modify the marshal format in backward incompatible ways should the need arise. If you’re serializing and de-serializing Python objects, use the pickle module instead – the...
