  ## History
  
  The village was established in 1955 by Hapoel HaMizrachi. The first residents were Jewish immigrants from the Maghreb, most of whom were from Morocco. They were later joined by more Jewish immigrants from Iran and Iraq. It was named after the Biblical book Proverbs 3:17: The Wisdom - "Her ways are ways of pleasantness".
