History
The moshav was founded in 1955 by Jewish immigrants from the Moroccan youth movement HaNoar HaTzioni, as part of the effort to settle the region. It was named after Zalman David Levontin, a Russian banker, pioneer of Jewish settlement in the Land of Israel and the founder and director of the Anglo-Palestine Bank (which later became Bank Leumi).
Sde David was founded in 1955 on land belonging to the depopulated Palestinian village of Burayr.[2]
gollark: Probably!
gollark: They keep adding new features but they're poorly integrated with everything and just tacked into random parts of the UI!
gollark: It would be better if Discord could integrate with other more open platforms - even *Google Talk* could - so you could avoid the terrible client application and stuff could move to other things without horrible problems - but it *doesn't* and they *actively ban* this in the ToS (though to be fair you can do it anyway).
gollark: I suspect it's to annoy you by saying "haha yes buy nitro and you could use this but otherwise we will fill it with random nonsense".
gollark: There's really large line spacing for some reason and the people list at the side isn't very dense.
