History

According to ARIJ, in 1978 Israel confiscated 618 dunams of land from the Palestinian site of Nabi Musa in order to construct Vered Yeriho.[3]

The community was founded in 1979 as a result of the dissociation of the secular nucleus from the religious nucleus in Mitzpe Yeriho, a nearby settlement to the west of Vered Yeriho. The moshav is located on a hill overlooking the Aqabat Jaber section of Jericho. From the scenic perimeter road of the moshav, one can see Jericho and the northern Dead Sea.

gollark: I've written```Coroutines are Lua's way of handling concurrency - running multiple things "at once". They act somewhat similarly to threads on computers, except coroutines must explicitly transfer control back to their parent - only one is actually run at any given time. This is what [[coroutine.yield]] does. Many things internally use [[coroutine.yield]], such as [[os.pullEvent]], [[sleep]] and anything else which waits for events.You can create a coroutine with [[coroutine.create]] - pass it a function and it will return a coroutine. This coroutine will initially not be running (use [[coroutine.status]] to check its status - it should show "suspended")See also [http://lua-users.org/wiki/CoroutinesTutorial the Lua users' wiki].```so far, but I'm really not too great at documentation...
gollark: We should put it up *somewhere*.
gollark: How do I add an offsite link?
gollark: You could just make a page for them now.
gollark: Would it be useful to add general coroutine examples or does that go elsewhere?
