History
During the 1920s Luise Lea Zaloscer and her sister Klara Barmaper organized the purchase of the site on behalf of the Jewish National Fund in Yugoslavia. In 1926 a group of immigrants from Yugoslavia settled in the place and established a moshav, taking the name from the ancient city of Beit She'arim, the ruins of which are today a national park that was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2015.[3] Due to economic hardships the majority of the first settlers left in the 1930s, and in 1936 the moshav was re-established by members of HaNoar HaOved VeHaLomed, immigrants from Yugoslavia and Eastern Europe.
