History
The village was founded in 1908 in the period of the Second Aliyah by the Jewish Colonization Association. Its name is Hebrew for "observatory", a name which was given to the village due to the location in which one has a good observation of the Sea of Galilee, Mount Arbel and Safed.
Economy
The main branches of the village are agriculture, entrepreneurship, tourism (hospitality rooms) and others work outside of the village.

gollark: Everyone loves vast quantities of highly dubiously useful data!
gollark: My laptop and any recent Intel iGPU-having thing has VP9 hardware encoding capability, but when I tried that the filesize was way bigger than with software encoding; it's likely I just needed to tune it somehow, but I couldn't be bothered.
gollark: VP9 did work and encoding happened at not *unusably* awful speeds (0.25x).
gollark: I tried compiling AV1 encoders for some reason (I think seeing how ridiculously small I could make some videos without terrible quality?) but one of the things I couldn't get working and the others were either bad somehow or horribly slow.
