History

The village was established in 1948 by immigrants from Greece, Poland and Turkey on the Burma Road on agricultural lands that had belonged to the depopulated Palestinian Arab village of Khirbat Bayt Far, in order to prevent Jerusalem being separated from the rest of Israel.[1][2][3] It was named after Henry Morgenthau Jr. (Morgentau is German for Morning Dew).[4]

Economy

Shvil Izim, a goat farm and cafe, is located on the moshav, whose hen houses and cowsheds have been turned into artisanal cheese workshops and boutique wineries.[5] The moshav also operates a banquet hall.[6] The moshav had a tofu factory, considered "the largest and most significant in Israel", owned by the Weiler farm. In 2017, it expanded and relocated to Netivot.[7]
