==History== |
|||
The kibbutz was established in 1942 by members of the [[Hashomer Hatzair]] movement who [[Jewish refugees|fled]] from [[Czechoslovakia]] and [[Poland]], with some arriving during [[Aliyah Bet]], during [[Nazi]] persecution. Its name refers to the first furrow ploughed in a field. The analogy was presented in [[Avraham Herzfeld]]'s speech about settlement in the area: He saw the establishment of the kibbutz as being the first of many. |

Due to its location near [[Wadi Ara]], the kibbutz was on the front line during the [[1948 Arab–Israeli War]] and was attacked by the [[Iraqi Army]]. |
