History

The village was established in 1950 by immigrants from Yemen. When the majority of these abandoned the village on account of security reasons, the village absorbed immigrants from Cochin, which now make-up the majority of its residents. Its name is taken [2][3][4] from Psalms 89:14 as the name of neighbouring moshav Tarum;

Thine is an arm with might; strong is Thy hand, and exalted is Thy right hand.
