History
The village was established as a moshav in 1944 by a group of 30 immigrant families from Kurdistan, and was initially named Kedem after the organisation which helped the founders make aliyah.
After the Palestinian village of al-Rihaniyya became depopulated in the 1948 Palestine war, Ein HaEmek and Ramat HaShofet have used its lands.
