==History==
It was founded in 1950 by veterans of the [[British Army]] and was initially named '''Yaʿel''', the initials of Hebrew Units for Transportation, the unit that the veterans belonged to during the war. The commander of the unit was [[Henry d'Avigdor-Goldsmid]], the son of Sir Osmond Elim d’Avigdor-Goldsmid. Later the name was changed and now it derives its name from the Zionist [[Osmond d'Avigdor-Goldsmid|Sir Osmond Elim d’Avigdor-Goldsmid]], an Englishman, president of the [[Palestine Jewish Colonization Association]] between the years 1934–1939 that donated to the moshav the municipality.<ref name=mapa>{{Cite book
