History
The moshav was founded in 1949 by demobilised soldiers, and was named after the American philanthropist Meyer Rosoff.[1] Rosoff had bought the land around the Palestinian village of al-Na'ani in the 1930s for his company, Rosoff Group Plantations.[2] After the 1948 war, it expanded on part of the remaining al-Na'ani land.[3]
It collapsed in 1965, but was re-established in 1969 by a group of immigrants from France (who had originally moved there from North Africa)
