History
The village was established in 1952 on land that used to belong to the depopulated Palestinian village of Khirbat al-Sarkas, on a site located to the east of the village.[2] It was established by residents of Zikhron Ya'akov and Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe and Iran. It was named after Elazar Warmassar, one of the heads of the PJCA.[3]
One of the residents runs a health and beauty span that offers snake massages. She uses California and Florida king snakes, corn snakes and milk snakes, claiming that contact with these reptiles is stress-relieving.[4]
Located on the outskirts of the moshav is a carnivorous plant nursery where various species of plants are grown, among them the Nepenthes, which can capture frogs and birds.[5]
