The village also functions as a [community settlement](/source/community_settlement_(Israel)) for its community of non-members

==History==
The village was established in 1948 by a [gar'in](/source/gar'in) of youth from [South Africa](/source/South_Africa), [Romania](/source/Romania) and [Egypt](/source/Kingdom_of_Egypt) from the youth movement [HaNoar HaTzioni](/source/HaNoar_HaTzioni) as a [kibbutz](/source/kibbutz) on [Shimron](/source/Shimron) Hill in the [Lower Galilee](/source/Lower_Galilee), in the area now covered by the community settlement of [Timrat](/source/Timrat). It was named after a carving in the shape of a palm in the temple: 1 Kings 6:29.<ref>Carta's Official Guide to Israel and Complete Gazetteer to all Sites in the Holy Land. (3rd edition 1993) Jerusalem, Carta, p.462, {{ISBN|965-220-186-3}}</ref>
It was built on the land belonging to the depopulated [Palestinian](/source/Palestinian_people) village of [Tall al-Turmus](/source/Tall_al-Turmus).<ref>{{cite book|title=All That Remains: The Palestinian Villages Occupied and Depopulated by Israel in 1948|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_By7AAAAIAAJ |first1=Walid|last1=Khalidi|authorlink=Walid Khalidi|year=1992|location=[Washington D.C.](/source/Washington_D.C.)|publisher=[Institute for Palestine Studies](/source/Institute_for_Palestine_Studies)|isbn=0-88728-224-5|page=138}}</ref> 
In 1953 it was reorganized as a moshav shitufi, one of the first in the country. In 1954 the settlement moved to its current location due to a shortage of land at its original site.<ref name=mapa>{{Cite book
