History
The moshav was established in 1950 by immigrants from Yemen. Like several other moshavim in the area, its name is taken from the Book of Isaiah 35:10;
And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto Zion, and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; they shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

gollark: Probably not.
gollark: You get cooperatives and stuff which try and run communes within capitalism, but they go ”full capitalist“ eventually.
gollark: As I've said previously, the graph of technology level to infrastructure required to keep that going is probably quite inverted-U-shaped, and commune stuff can probably only work at the lower ends.
