History
The village was established in 1965 as a youth village named Hazon Yehezkel by a group called Mosadot Hinukh Ezuri (lit. Institute for Regional Education), made up of young members of Agudat Yisrael. It was built on the ruins of the depopulated Palestinian village of Hatta.[1] In 1996 the Ministry of Interior granted the village municipal council status and renamed it Aluma. In 2014, the Israel Antiquities Authority uncovered a 1,500-year-old Byzantine church containing an ancient mosaic floor bearing a Christogram surrounded by birds. [2] The church was discovered during a salvage dig prior to the construction of a new neighborhood on the moshav.[3]
