History
The land had been used as a Ma'abara Nativa which was abandoned as a religious settlement and educational center in 1962 by Poalei Agudat Yisrael, in partnership with the municipality of Nahal Sorek.[2] It was named after the former Minister of Postal Services, Binyamin Mintz, who had died the previous year.[3] For many years, the community was a center of higher Jewish learning, based around the yeshiva.
Following the disengagement plan, around 200 families from Gush Katif moved into temporary pre-fabricated housing in Yad Binyamin. Some later moved to a new village named Ganei Tal after the former settlement by the same name.[4] Many other families have moved to Netzer Hazani.[5]
The community has a neighborhood, called Ahuzat Yonatan, that is for people ages 55 and older. The neighborhood has approximately 160 apartments as well as a shared building containing a synagogue.[6]
